  • They provide additional information about the contents of an element. Attributes allow you to more easily target an element.

  • Everything in the body element is shown on the main broswer winder.
  • The head contains info about the page.

CSS Challenges
Challenge 1

Challenge 2

Used float attribute to get the boxes on the sides they needed to be and a margin:auto to force the 2nd box into the middle position. Challenge 2
