HTML Tags
HTML <body> Tag
The <body> tag contains all the visible content of an HTML page, including text, images, links, tables, and more.
What is the <body> tag?
The <body> element represents the content of an HTML document. Everything the user sees in the browser window lives inside <body>. There is exactly one <body> per document, and it comes right after the <head>, as the second child of <html>.
Syntax
<body>
<!-- visible content goes here -->
</body>Complete example

<html lang="en">
<head>
<title>Body Tag Demo</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Welcome</h1>
<p>This paragraph is visible because it lives inside the body.</p>

</body>
</html>Attributes
The <body> element supports the global attributes plus several event-handler attributes that fire on window-level events:
| Attribute | Description |
|---|---|
| onload | Runs a script after the page has finished loading. |
| onunload | Runs a script when the user leaves the page. |
| onresize | Runs a script when the browser window is resized. |
| onscroll | Runs a script when the document is scrolled. |
⚠️
Presentational attributes like bgcolor, background, text, and link are deprecated. Use CSS (for example the background-color property) to style the body instead.
The <body> tag is supported in all browsers and is a block-level container by default.
