We generally have lots of images as a part of a 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, linking web pages, and creating frames.
IMAGES IN HTML
Images enhance the look of a web page and make it attractive. These are used for conveying
information and catching the attention of website visitors. The most widely used image formats
supported by HTML are GIF, JPEG and PNG. The images on a web page can be inserted using the
<IMG> tag, which is an empty tag. It has the following attributes:
Attribute Value Description
URL (or location) of the SRC stands for source. It specifies the
SRC
image location of the image.
ALT stands for alternate text. It specifies
ALT Text which alternative text should be displayed
if selected image is not displayed.
Except for SRC attribute, all other attributes are optional in the <IMG> tag.
Syntax of <IMG> tag:
<IMG SRC=“URL of the image” ALT=“alternate text”>
ALT = “Alternate Text”
ALIGN = “Alignment Type”
