Images

Question 1

Syntax

Answer 1

HTML Images Syntax
The HTML <img></img> tag is used to embed an image in a web page.

Images are not technically inserted into a web page; images are linked to web pages. The <img></img> tag creates a holding space for the referenced image.

The <img></img> tag is empty, it contains attributes only, and does not have a closing tag.

The <img></img> tag has two required attributes:

src - Specifies the path to the image
alt - Specifies an alternate text for the image

Question 2

src

Answer 2

The src Attribute
The required src attribute specifies the path (URL) to the image.

Question 3

alt

Answer 3

The alt Attribute
The required alt attribute provides an alternate text for an image, if the user for some reason cannot view it (because of slow connection, an error in the src attribute, or if the user uses a screen reader).

The value of the alt attribute should describe the image

Question 4

Height and width

Answer 4

Image Size - Width and Height
You can use the style attribute to specify the width and height of an image.

Question 5

Images in Another Folder

Answer 5

If you have your images in a sub-folder, you must include the folder name in the src attribute:

Question 6

Images on Another Server/Website

Answer 6

Some web sites point to an image on another server.

To point to an image on another server, you must specify an absolute (full) URL in the src attribute:

Example
<img></img>
