Image Basics

9/30/99

HTML provides the <IMG> for inserting images. The following attributes can be used:

• SRC - specifies the image file to use
• VSPACE/HSPACE - automatic spacing around an image
• ALT - alternate text for the image
• BORDER - whether or not the image has lines around it
• HEIGHT/WIDTH - specifies the size of the image
• USEMAP - used with image maps

There may be other attributes that you can use with the <IMG> but you need to make sure that any you use work with the versions of the browser you may encounter. The ones shown above are the most commonly used attributes.
