|

| 34 | The <CODE>LANG</CODE> attribute can be used to specify what language the <CODE><SAMP></CODE> element is using. It accepts any valid ISO standard language abbreviation (for example <CODE>"en"</CODE> for English, <CODE>"de"</CODE> for German etc.) For more details, see the <A HREF="../Document_Localisation/ov.htm" TITLE="View the HTML localisation topic">Document Localisation</A> section for more details.

| 37 | The <CODE>LANGUAGE</CODE> attribute can be used to expressly specify which scripting language <STRONG>Internet Explorer</STRONG> 4.0 uses to interpret any scripting information used in the <CODE><SAMP></CODE> element. It can accept values of <CODE>vbscript</CODE>, <CODE>vbs</CODE>, <CODE>javascript</CODE> or <CODE>jscript</CODE>. The first two specify the scripting language as Visual Basic Script, the latter two specify it as using Javascript (the default scripting language used if no <CODE>LANGUAGE</CODE> attribute is set.

| 39 | <P><A NAME="CLASS"><SPAN CLASS="attr">CLASS</SPAN></A>="Style Sheet class name"<BR>

| 45 | <P><A NAME="ID"><SPAN CLASS="attr">ID</SPAN></A>="Unique element identifier"<BR>
|
|---|
| 46 | The <CODE>ID</CODE> attribute can be used to either reference a unique style sheet identifier, or to provide a unique name for the <CODE><SAMP></CODE> element for scripting purposes. Any <CODE><SAMP></CODE> element with an <CODE>ID</CODE> attribute can be directly manipulated in script by referencing its <CODE>ID</CODE> attribute, rather than working through the <A HREF="../Scripting_Reference/allcol.htm" TITLE="View the All collection topic">All collection</A> to determine the element. See the <A HREF="../Scripting_Reference/ov.htm" TITLE="View the Scripting Introduction topic">Scripting introduction</A> topic for more information.
