The Document ROOT or the HTML Element

The <html> element is the root element in an HTML and XHTML document. It directly contains all the other elements, such as <head> tag and <body> tag ( or <fremeset> tag).

Listed below are the most common attributes you can use for this element:
  • lang - provides the language in which the enclosed content is coded.
  • xml:lang - the XML format of providing the language in which the enclosed content is coded. Mainly used XML documents.
  • xmlns - sets a value to "http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"


Here's an example that we have already seen on our previous example and take note on how I used the <html> element:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C //DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
 <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
     <head>
          <meata http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;
    charset=utf-8" />
            <title>Document Root Example</title>
       </head>

<body>
      <h1>
           Document Root Example

  </body>
</html>
