Example

Here’s an example of using the high attribute with the <meter> element in HTML:

<meter value="75" min="0" max="100" low="30" high="80">75%</meter>

In this example, the <meter> element shows a value of 75, with a minimum of 0 and a maximum of 100. The high attribute is set to 80, meaning values above this threshold are considered high.
