# HTML Element Component

UDesignerClassic Designer

The **HTML Element component** adds HTML formatting into your [application](/v1/docs/introduction-to-unqork-applications). In Express View, you can see your HTML Elements render along with the rest of your [module](/v1/docs/introduction-to-the-module-builder).

Some common examples of when to use the HTML Element component are:

- Inserting a custom logo or image.
- Showing a section heading or break.
- Adding a paragraph of static text.

You'll find the HTML Element component in the [Display & Layout](/v1/docs/display-layout) group to the left of the [Module Builder](/v1/docs/introduction-to-the-module-builder).

## What You'll Learn

After completing this article, you’ll know when to use an HTML Element component, how to configure its settings, and how to add it to an application.

## About the Configuration Window

> [!TIP]
> To learn more about general component settings and those that display when a component is associated with Data Models, view our [General Component Settings](/v1/docs/general-component-settings) article.

### Display Panel

#### Formatting

| Setting | Description |
| --- | --- |
| **Tag** | Set the HTML container for your content here. The HTML Tag is what you'll see inside angled brackets in traditional HTML. Common HTML tags you can use include: - h1: Heading 1 text. - p: Paragraph of text. - a: Basic hyperlink. - hr: Horizontal rule. By default, the HTML Tag is set to p. |
| **Content** | The Content window works together with your HTML Tag. If you create a heading, enter your heading text here. The same goes for a paragraph or a basic hyperlink. What you enter here is what displays to your end-user in Express View. In traditional HTML, your content displays between your start and end tags. You can also enter additional HTML tags in the Content window. What you enter in the Tag setting field determines the default HTML tag. To prevent security exploits, only use safe HTML tags and attributes. When configuring your HTML tags and attributes, consider the following: - Safe attributes for use in HTML tags: 'class', 'color', 'size', 'href', 'style', 'align', 'target', 'title', 'width', 'height', 'role', 'type', 'id', 'for', 'xmlns', 'rel', 'fill', 'frameborder', 'border', 'charset', 'tabindex', 'allow', 'valign', 'font-size', 'padding-top', 'css', 'tooltip', and 'aria-hidden'. - Allowed HTML tag attribute combinations that may only be used in combination with explicitly allowed HTML tags: 'src' and/or 'alt' can only be used in combination with <img>. > [!NOTE] > 'src' is only supported for older, pre-existing configurations. - Disallowed HTML tags that are unsafe or otherwise non-permissible: <script> is never allowed. |

## Adding an HTML Element Component

In this example, use an HTML Element component to add a heading for a few Personal Information questions. Follow this configuration with two Text Field components to collect the end-user’s first and last names. Also use a Phone Number component to collect their phone number. Then, place these into columns and add a second HTML Element component to hold a horizontal rule denoting the end of the section.

> [!NOTE]
> These instructions assume that you have an open module saved with a title.

For this configuration, you'll need the following components:

- 2 **HTML Element** components
- 1 [Columns](/v1/docs/columns-component) component
- 2 [Text Field](/v1/docs/text-field-component) components
- 1 [Phone Number](/v1/docs/phone-number-component) component

### Configure the First HTML Element Component

First, set up the section header. Add an HTML Element component that reads Personal Information and set its size to h3.

1. In the Module Builder, drag and drop an **H****TML Element** component onto your canvas.
2. In the Property ID field, enter **htmlPersonalInfo**.
3. In the **Tag** field, enter `h3`.
4. In the **Content** window, enter `Personal Information.`.
5. Click **Save Component**.

### Configure the Columns Component

Using a Columns component, you can create containers for the components that follow. Select the pre-configured layout containing two evenly-spaced columns.

1. Drag and drop a **![Columns Component Icon](https://cdn.us.document360.io/15548f06-2fba-434c-b0c1-5df88317dbd7/Images/Documentation/columns_teal_component(12).png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-08T10%3A17%3A56Z&se=2026-11-08T11%3A17%3A56Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=DM%2FrARstTwhlM6%2FW3idbu7l7BpYu5Q3dCXN3VgehHCc%3D) Columns** component onto your canvas, placing it below your **htmlPersonalInfo** **H****TML Element**.
2. In the Property ID field, enter **colPersonalInfo**.
3. Click **Save Component**.

### Configure the Text Field Components

Add two Text Field components to collect your end-user’s first and last name.

1. Drag and drop two **T****ext Field** components onto your canvas, placing one Text Field in each column of the **colPersonalInfo** **![Columns Component Icon](https://cdn.us.document360.io/15548f06-2fba-434c-b0c1-5df88317dbd7/Images/Documentation/columns_teal_component(12).png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-08T10%3A17%3A56Z&se=2026-11-08T11%3A17%3A56Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=DM%2FrARstTwhlM6%2FW3idbu7l7BpYu5Q3dCXN3VgehHCc%3D) Columns** component.
2. Complete the Property ID and Label Text as follows:

| Property ID | Label Text |
| --- | --- |
| **firstName** | First Name |
| **lastName** | Last Name |
3. Click **Save Component** for each component as you add it.

### Configure the Phone Number Component

Add a Phone Number component to collect more personal information.

1. Drag and drop a **P****hone Number** component onto your canvas, placing it below your **firstName** **T****ext Field** component in the **colPersonalInfo** **![Columns Component Icon](https://cdn.us.document360.io/15548f06-2fba-434c-b0c1-5df88317dbd7/Images/Documentation/columns_teal_component(12).png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-08T10%3A17%3A56Z&se=2026-11-08T11%3A17%3A56Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=DM%2FrARstTwhlM6%2FW3idbu7l7BpYu5Q3dCXN3VgehHCc%3D) Columns** component.

2. In the Property ID field, enter **htmlHorizontalRule**.
3. In the **Tag** field, enter `hr`. This tag adds a horizontal line to your module in Express View.

[![A static image showing the HTML Element component, the Tag setting value is set to hr.](https://cdn.us.document360.io/15548f06-2fba-434c-b0c1-5df88317dbd7/Images/Documentation/UD_HTML_Comp_Example_HTMLHR_thumb_0_0.jpg?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-08T10%3A17%3A56Z&se=2026-11-08T11%3A17%3A56Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=DM%2FrARstTwhlM6%2FW3idbu7l7BpYu5Q3dCXN3VgehHCc%3D)](https://cdn.us.document360.io/15548f06-2fba-434c-b0c1-5df88317dbd7/Images/Documentation/UD%20HTML%20Comp%20Example%20HTMLHR.jpg?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-08T10%3A17%3A56Z&se=2026-11-08T11%3A17%3A56Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=DM%2FrARstTwhlM6%2FW3idbu7l7BpYu5Q3dCXN3VgehHCc%3D)

## Adding an HTML Element Component

In this example, use an HTML Element component to add a heading for a few Personal Information questions. Follow this configuration with two Text Field components to collect the end-user’s first and last names. Also use a Phone Number component to collect their phone number. Then, place these into columns and add a second HTML Element component to hold a horizontal rule denoting the end of the section.

> [!NOTE]
> These instructions assume that you have an open module saved with a title.

For this configuration, you'll need the following components:

- 2 **HTML Element** components
- 1 [Columns](/v1/docs/columns-component) component
- 2 [Text Field](/v1/docs/text-field-component) components
- 1 [Phone Number](/v1/docs/phone-number-component) component

### Configure the First HTML Element Component

First, set up the section header. Add an HTML Element component that reads Personal Information and set its size to h3.

1. In the Module Builder, drag and drop an **H****TML Element** component onto your canvas.
2. In the Property ID field, enter **htmlPersonalInfo**.
3. In the **Tag** field, enter h3.
4. In the **Content** window, enter `Personal Information.`.
