HTML Images Tutorial
In HTML, you can easily display images on a webpage using the <img>
tag. This tag requires the src
attribute, which specifies the URL of the image to be displayed. Additionally, you can set the alt
attribute to provide a text description of the image for accessibility purposes.
Below is an example of how to insert an image using the <img>
tag:
<img src="image.jpg" alt="Fictional Image">
Let's break down the attributes used in the above example:
Attribute | Description |
---|---|
src | The URL or file path of the image to be displayed. |
alt | A text description of the image for accessibility purposes. |
The alt
attribute is important for visually impaired users who use screen readers to navigate the web.
If the image is not found at the specified URL or file path, the alt
text will be displayed instead.
Additionally, you can specify the width and height of the image using the width
and height
attributes:
<img src="image.jpg" alt="Fictional Image" width="200" height="150">
By setting the width and height attributes, you can control the size at which the image is displayed on the webpage.
Remember to always provide a descriptive alt
text for your images to improve accessibility/SEO and ensure a positive user experience.
