			CORE ATTRIBUTE: class
			class="name" Available in versions: 4.0 HTML 4.0 tag compatibility: All tags except base, basefont, head, html, meta, param, script, style, title The class core attribute is used to assign the name of a style sheets class to a tag. For example, all of the code samples on the DevGuru site are in blue colored text. This is done by enclosing the code sample inside a pair of span tag elements and designating a class of "CODE". In turn, the "CODE" class has been assigned a text color of blue in the style sheets file (a .css file) that is located in the Include/ directory on the DevGuru web site. (Thus, only one file is needed to define the appearance of the entire site.) Code: <span class="CODE"> The code example is blue. </span> Output: The code example is blue. The exact same effect can be accomplished using other permitted tags. Code: <font class="CODE"> This text is blue. </font> This text is not blue. Output: This text is blue. This text is not blue.
