HTML, Attributes and Order

Please consider the following HTML code fragment:

<body bgcolor = "red" text="black">

In this case, bgcolor and text are attributes of the tag body. I claim that the order the attributes appear in, does not matter. Do I have that right?

I understand that this can be done via CSS and that is the preferred way of doing it, but I am trying to understand the fine point of HTML. I also want to understand if the order of the attributes matters for any tags.

Thanks Bob

it doesn't really matter what order you put attributes in an HTML tag, but you carefully maintain a consistent pattern for readability/debugging reasons.

bgcolor and text don't interfere with each other so the order is not important.

In general, the order of html attributes is not important.
