HTML <img> style Attribute

HTML <iframe>

HTML <input>

A style attribute on an <img> tag assigns a unique style to the image.

Its value is CSS that defines the appearance of the image.

Example

#

A style attribute on an <img> element.

<img src="/img/html/vangogh-lg.jpg"
     alt="Van Gogh self-portrait"
     style="border:4px solid #1b6b6f; padding:15px;">

Using style

#

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

     style="border:4px solid teal; padding:15px;">

<br /><br />
<button onclick="toggle();">Toggle style</button>

<script>
  let toggle = () => {
    let element = document.getElementById("myimg");

    if (element.style.borderColor === "teal") {
       element.style.borderColor = "brown";
    } else {
       element.style.borderColor = "teal";
    }
  }
</script>

Code explanation

The style attribute assigns a border to the <img> element.

Clicking the button calls JavaScript that changes the border color.
