<!DOCTYPE html> MORE ON HTML
<html>
<head>
<title>Inserting Image</title>
</head>
<body> 61
<b>Inserting image on the web
page</b>
<img src="lily.jpg" width="200"
height="200" style="float: right;

</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.
Some of the image formats supported by HTML are Joint Photographic
Fun Experts Group (JPEG), Graphics Interchange Format (GIF) and Portable

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.
