<Q> element specifies that the enclosed text is an in-line quote. This is different from the
<BLOCKQUOTE>, because it doesn't generate paragraph breaks before or after. The contents of the
<Q> element are rendered with the flow of the surrounding text.
It is one of the new HTML 4.0 elements (actually a 'hanger-on' from the ill-fated HTML 3.0 specification) and is currently only supported by Internet Explorer 4.0.
ECMAScript is a <Q CITE="http://www.ecma.ch/">A general purpose, cross-platform programming language</Q>
<Q> supports the following attributes:
CITE attribute should be used to specify the source of, or a reference to the contained quote. In the above example, the
CITE attribute is used to provide the URL of the ECMA Web site, the authors of the ECMAScript specification.
The Internet Explorer 4.0 (and above) specific
TITLE attribute is used for informational purposes. If present, the value of the
TITLE attribute is presented as a ToolTip when the users mouse hovers over the
LANG attribute can be used to specify what language the
<Q> element is using. It accepts any valid ISO standard language abbreviation (for example
"en" for English,
"de" for German etc.) For more details, see the Document Localisation section for more details.
LANGUAGE attribute can be used to expressly specify which scripting language Internet Explorer 4.0 uses to interpret any scripting information used in the
<Q> element. It can accept values of
LANGUAGE attribute is set.
CLASS="Style Sheet class name"
CLASS attribute is used to specify the
<Q> element as using a particular style sheet class. See the Style Sheets topic for details.
STYLE="In line style setting"
As well as using previously defined style sheet settings, the
<Q> element can have in-line stylings attached to it. See the Style Sheets topic for details.
ID="Unique element identifier"
ID attribute can be used to either reference a unique style sheet identifier, or to provide a unique name for the
<Q> element for scripting purposes. Any
<Q> element with an
ID attribute can be directly manipulated in script by referencing its
ID attribute, rather than working through the All collection to determine the element. See the Scripting introduction topic for more information.
<Q> element in a document is an object that can be manipulated through scripting. Note that scripting of the
<Q> element/object is only supported by Internet Explorer 4.0 in its Dynamic HTML object model as Netscape doesn't support the

Details of these can be found in the standard Dynamic HTML properties topics. Additionally, the
<Q> element supports the cite and datetime properties, which directly reflect the
DATETIME attribute values.
<Q...> element/object supports all of the standard Dynamic HTML methods (i.e. click, contains, getAttribute, insertAdjacentHTML, insertAdjacentText, removeAttribute, scrollIntoView and setAttribute). Details of these can be found in the standard Dynamic HTML Methods topics.
<Q...> element/object supports all of the standard Dynamic HTML events (i.e. onclick, ondblclick, ondragstart, onfilterchange, onhelp, onkeydown, onkeypress, onkeyup, onmousedown, onmousemove, onmouseout, onmouseover, onmouseup and onselectstart). Details of these can be found in the standard Dynamic HTML events topics.
