Attribute

If you know a bit about HTML, could you please help me?

Use a HREF attribute to an A tag.
Is this correct and can to be replaced by in?

Thanks in advance.

I would use "of". But in most circumstances I would probably write: Use the HREF attribute of the <A> tag. or Use the <A> tag's HREF attribute.

  • If you're sure that you want "a" rather than "the", then it should be "a n HREF attribute" (because HREF is pronounced "aitch-ref", starting with a vowel sound).

Thanks, MW.
I should've pronounced HREF.
I think definite articles are better!
