Adding Images with HTML

Images and Links

Images

<img border="0" src="/images/pulpit.jpg" alt="Pulpit rock" width="304" height="228" >

• The image tag is an empty tag. This means you don’t have to close it.

• src attribute is the location of the image.• When looking at the example, try

changing the border to something other than 0 and see what happens.

Example

Other attributes of the Image tag

• <img src="boat.gif" alt="Big Boat" />• The "alt" attribute tells the reader

what he or she is missing on a page if the browser can't load images. The browser will then display the alternate text instead of the image.

Example

Image Alignment

<img src="hackanm.gif“ align="bottom" width="48" height="48">

• The width and height attributes can be set if you want to specify the size of the picture. You do not have to however.

• The align attribute is no longer used, however still works in most browsers. We now use CSS to align text with images.

Example (The old way, using align attribute)

Other Image Attributes

When aligning text with an image using CSS, it looks like this:

img {vertical-align:middle;}
