Let us use the <IMG> tag to insert an image on the web page in the following way:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Inserting Image</title>
</head>
<body>
<b>Inserting image on the web
page</b>
<img src="lily.jpg" width="200"
height="200" style="float: right;
border: 2px solid black;">
</body>
</html> Image inserted with border
Make sure to save the image you want to insert on the web page in the same location as your
HTML file. If we want to insert an image from any other location, we need to provide the complete
path of the image to the SRC attribute. For example, if our image is saved in the D: drive of
computer, then the path of the image will be D:\lily.jpg.

i + LINKING WEB PAGES
A website is a collection of web pages that are interlinked with each other and contain related
information. These web pages are linked with the help of a feature of HTML called a hyperlink. A
hyperlink is generally an underlined text that takes the user to another web page when clicked.
Generally, hyperlinks are seen in blue colour. Images can also be used as hyperlinks. When
the mouse is hovered over a hyperlink, the mouse pointer changes to a hand shape. When a
hyperlink is clicked, its colour changes to purple.
HTML5 allows the creation of two types of linking, which are:
• Intralinking: The process of linking specific sections or elements within the same web page
or website. It allows users to navigate to different parts of the same page quickly and easily
by clicking on hyperlinks that lead to other sections or elements on the page.
