MORE ABOUT HTML 3
A web page should be designed in such a way that a user can identify or read the content easily.
The document of the web page can be formatted and made attractive with the help of different
tags of HTML and by including images, links, colours, etc. In this chapter, we will learn about tags
that help to format, insert and link the web pages.
Graphics, images, photographs, all these visual elements make a web page more attractive and
give unique look. These virtual elements enhance the presentation of the web page for its items
which allures and attracts the users to browse. Other than the text matter, HTML helps to display
static or animated images on the web pages. It accepts the image in file formats with extensions.

<IMG> TAG
The <IMG> (Image) tag is an empty tag. The attribute SRC (Source) is used with the IMG tag to
specify the location and name of the image file. The <P> tag should be placed before the <IMG>
tag because the <IMG> tag does not form a new block element and would appear in the same
line unless we add <P> tag. A blank line appears before and after the image when the image
insention tag <IMG> is enclosed within <P> and </P> tags. Syntax to use the <IMG> tag is as follows:
<IMG SRC="Image file" ALIGN="Value" BORDER="Value" WIDTH="Value"
HEIGHT="Value" HSPACE="Value" VSPACE="Value" ALT="Text">
For example:
<P><IMG SRC= "FLOWER.GIF"></P>
