HTML <footer> style Attribute

HTML <figure>

HTML <form>

A style attribute on a <footer> tag assigns a unique style to the footer.

Its value is CSS that defines the appearance of the footer element.

Example

#

A style attribute on a <footer> element.

<footer style="background:#302ea3; color:white; padding:10px 20px;">
  <p>&copy; Company, Ltd. All Rights Reserved.</p>
</footer>

Using style

#

The style attribute specifies the style, i.e. look and feel, of the <footer> element.

A style contains any number of CSS property/value pairs, separated by semicolons (;).

The style attribute overrides any other style that was defined in a <style> tag or an external CSS file.

This inline styling affects the current <footer> element only.

Syntax

#

<footer style="CSS-styles">

Values

#

Value	Description
CSS-styles	One or more CSS property/value pairs separated by semicolons (;).

More Examples

#

Clicking the button toggles the background colors.

<footer id="myfooter" style="background: darkcyan; color: white; padding: 10px;">
  <p>&copy; Company, Ltd. All Rights Reserved.</p>
</footer>

<br/>
<button onclick="toggle();">Toggle style</button>

<script>
  let toggle = () => {
    let element = document.getElementById("myfooter");

    if (element.style.backgroundColor === "darkcyan") {
       element.style.backgroundColor = "#302ea3";
    } else {
       element.style.backgroundColor = "darkcyan";
    }
  }
</script>

Code explanation

The style attribute assigns a background color to the <footer> element.

Clicking the button calls JavaScript which changes the background color.
