The tutorials found herein have been written for clarification of existing W3C HTML 5 and HTML 4.01 (and, by extension, xHTML 1.0 as text/html) specifications through the use of real-world examples.

Some section names have been taken from HTML 5; some remain HTML 4.01. Text-Level Elements in HTML 4.01 - have become Text-Level Semantics in HTML 5 but some were reclassified as Grouping or Phrasing Content; List elements are Grouping Content but shown here as “Lists”.
height
The height attribute gives a height dimension. It may be found assigned with the applet, embed, iframe, input, img, object, td, th and video elements.
The value does not include measurement units, e.g., px; integers only.
[Note: HTML 5 has obsoleted height use for the applet, td and th elements.]

[This is not an actual Flash file. But, if it was—it would be the short-subject of Bunny Verge performing Issac Newton's “Enumeration Of Lines Of The Third Order: Generation Of Curves By Shadows, Organic Description Of Curves And Construction Of Equations By Curves” with Jazz Combo musical accompaniment.]
