Properties of an HTML Element

In HTML, every element is represented as an object in the Document Object Model (DOM). These objects have properties, which are values that define the state and behavior of the element. Properties are different from attributes: attributes are defined in the HTML markup, while properties are the current values that JavaScript sees when working with the DOM.
