<isindex> XHTML syntax - This element is opened and closed, within a single tag, by adding a space followed by a forward slash at the end of the tag. <isindex /> |
|---|---|
| Usage | The <isindex> tag creates a single line control, for inputting text, that does not require a <form> tag. The <isindex> tag can be used if there is an associated searchable index on the server. This tag has been deprecated. The <input> tag can also create a text input control. |
| Content Model | The <isindex> element cannot contain any tags. |

| Attribute | Description |
|---|---|
| prompt | The prompt attribute specifies a prompt that will be used in place of a default prompt that the browser may provide. Note: This attribute has been deprecated. |
| id | The id attribute assigns a unique name to a tag. This allows style sheets or scripts to reference the tag. See id Example |
| class | The class attribute assigns a class name to a tag. The class name does not need to be unique. More than one tag can have the same class name. This allows style sheets or scripts to reference multiple tags with a single class name. See class Example |
| style | The style attribute specifies styles for the tag. For Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), the syntax is name:value. Each name:value pair is separated by semicolons. See style Example |
| title | The title attribute specifies additional information about the tag. It is common for browsers to display the title when the pointing device stops over the object. See title Example |
| dir | The dir attribute tells the browser whether the text should be displayed from left-to-right or right-to-left. It does not reverse the direction of the characters, like the <bdo> tag does, but it can help the browser to determine if the text should be aligned on the left side or the right side. See dir Example |
| lang | The lang attribute specifies a language. This attribute can help the browser to correctly display text. This attribute can also be useful for braille translation software, speech synthesizers, dictionary definitions, etc. See lang Example |
| xml:lang | The xml:lang attribute specifies a language for XHTML documents. This attribute can help the browser to correctly display text. This attribute can also be useful for braille translation software, speech synthesizers, dictionary definitions, etc. See xml:lang Example Note: XHTML only. |
