HTML <strong> id Attribute

An id on a <strong> tag assigns an identifier to the element.

The identifier must be unique across the page.

Example

#

An id attribute on a <strong> tag.

Homework is due on March 11.

<p>
  Homework is due on 
  <strong id="due-date">March 11</strong>.
</p>

Using id

The id attribute assigns an identifier to the <strong> element.

The id allows JavaScript to easily access the <strong> element.

It is also used to point to a specific id selector in a style sheet.

Tip:  id is a global attribute that can be applied to any HTML element.
