Image Source and Alternate
- The <IMG SRC="URL"> tag will place an image on the Web page
- The types of image files that can be used are gif and jpeg files
- ALT="descriptive text" should be included within the <IMG SRC> tag so that when browsers
are set to only read text, people know what image they are missing
- For example, <IMG SRC="http://www.bc.edu/cwis/beginninghtml/bcseal.gif" ALT="BC Seal" > produces
if the browser is able to
retrieve the image, or
if the browser is unable to retrieve the image
Return to Beginning
