Graphics and Images
Want to spice up your web page with some graphics and images? All you need is the image tag, <img>, and the source attribute, src, and a filename for the value. For example, I have an image of a goldfish bowl on on my computer’s hard drive in the same folder with my HTML documents. And, I want to tell the web browser to"put the picture of the goldfish bowl on the web page right here, right now."This is how I would do it:
- <html>
- <head>
- <title>Learning HTML</title>
- </head>
- <body>
- <img src="GoldfishBowl.gif" />
- </body>
- </html>
Want to make the image bigger? All you have to do is specify a width and height attribute, as well as a value for each:
- <html>
- <head>
- <title>Learning HTML</title>
- </head>
- <body>
- <img src="GoldfishBowl.gif" width="75" height="75" />
- </body>
- </html>
Want to center the image on the web page? Just add a pair of center tags:
- <html>
- <head>
- <title>Learning HTML</title>
- </head>
- <body>
- <center><img src="GoldfishBowl.gif" /> </center>
- </body>
- </html>
Pretty cool, huh?
There are tons of places to find images and graphics for your page.
When you do find something that you want to include on your page — whether images, graphics, or even text — you need to make sure that it is not copyrighted. To better understand, let me explain some more about copyright…
