Definition and Usage
The style attribute specifies an inline style for an element.
The style attribute will override any style set globally, e.g. styles
specified in the <style> tag or in an external style sheet.
The style attribute can be used on any HTML element (it will
validate on any HTML element. However, it is not necessarily useful).
