Example of good practice: ```html <a href="https://example.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="link">Link</a> ``` Recommended sequence: 1. **Main (functional)**: `href`, `src`, `type`, `action`; 2. **Behavioral**: `target`, `rel`, `method`, `role`; 3. **Global**: `id`, `class`, `style`, `title`, `lang`. --- ### Exception: HTML5 "boolean" attributes For boolean attributes (`checked`, `disabled`, `required`), **only their presence matters**, not the order. For example: ```html <input required disabled type="text"> <input type="text" disabled required> ``` Both fields will be both disabled and required. --- ### Summary: | Parameter | Value | |---|---| | Does order affect the work | No | | How the browser identifies attributes | By name | | Are there best practices | Yes, for readability and consistency | | Exceptions | None technical, only stylistic | --- **Conclusion:** HTML is insensitive to attribute order. What matters is writing them correctly and quoting values; the order is chosen based on **readability and the team's standards**.For the reviewerNote to the moderator (optional)Visible only to the moderator.
