HTML and CSS Reference
In-Depth Information
For instance, you could cite the specific section in the Kumquat Growers'
Bylaws in our example. Presumably, someday the browser may actually
let you click and view that specific citation via its embedded URL. Today,
<blockquote cite="http://www.kumquat.com/growers/bylaws#s23.4">
4.7.1.2. The dir and lang attributes
The
dir
attribute lets you advise the browser in which direction the text
within the
<blockquote>
segment should be displayed, and
lang
lets you
specify the language used within that tag. [
The dir attribute, 3.6.1.1
]
4.7.1.3. The class, id, style, and title attributes
Use the
style
attribute to specify an inline style for the
<blockquote>
tag,
or use the
class
attribute to apply a predefined style class to the tag.
You may assign a unique ID to the
<blockquote>
tag, as well as a title,
using the respective attribute and accompanying quote-enclosed string
value. [
The id attribute, 4.1.1.4
]
[
The title attribute, 4.1.1.5
]
4.7.1.4. Event attributes
As with most other tagged segments of content, user-related events can
happen in and around the
<blockquote>
tag, such as when a user clicks
or double-clicks within its display space. The current browsers recognize
many of these events. With the respective
on
attribute and value, you
may react to those events by displaying a user dialog box or activating
some multimedia event. [
