<IMG> Tag: This tag embeds images into web pages, specifying the image source with the

for background colour or WIDTH for setting width.
The websites we generally visit have lots of images as part of the web page. We also notice that
all the web pages are interlinked with each other. Sometimes, we see that a web page is divided
into various sections. HTML allows us to implement all these functionalities in our web pages. In
this chapter, we will learn about inserting images, creating marquee,and linking web pages.
INSERTING IMAGES
Images and other graphical elements such as drawings, paintings and charts enhance the look
and feel of a web page. All these graphical elements are considered as image in the web page.
HTML also allows us to insert images inside the web pages through the <IMG> tag. The <IMG>
tag is an empty tag and has various attributes.
The attributes of the <IMG> tag are:
SRC: It specifies the source or URL of the image that has to be inserted in the web page. For
example,
<IMG SRC="lily.jpg">
WIDTH: It specifies the width of the image in the web page. For example,
<IMG SRC="lily.jpg" WIDTH="50%">
HEIGHT: It specifies the height of the image in the web page. For example,
<IMG SRC="lily.jpg" HEIGHT="60%">
ALIGN: It aligns the image with respect to the text placed adjacent to the image. Image can
be aligned left, right, middle, bottom and top. For example,
<IMG SRC="lily.jpg" ALIGN="right">
BORDER: It specifies the thickness of the border surrounding the image.
<IMG SRC="lily.jpg" BORDER="2">
ALT: It specifies the alternate text to be displayed in the web browser, if the provided image
is not found. For example,
<IMG SRC="lily.jpg" ALT="Describing the flower">
Let us use the <IMG> tag to insert an image on the web page in the following way:
