Is there a specific order that HTTP tag attributes should be listed in?

Question

Should the attributes of any particular HTML tag be listed in a specific order? Is there a convention for the order? For example, I have the following image tag in an HTML strict page...

<img src="http://example.com/media/graphics/border_bottom.png" class="border" height="5px" width="600px" alt="Lower Border" />

Should the src be listed first, or the height, or the width, etc? What is the proper order?

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

Nope not at all, the order doesn't matter. I tend to put attributes in the same order in my pages, just for consistency but it's isn't needed

Answer 2

No there isn't, but anyway you should follow make your own standard and follow it
