Images may be added to your web page as easily as links. The <img> tag is used to define an image. This tag does not have a closing tag. However, there are parameters defined for this tag. The following example adds an image to a Web Page:

<img src="http://www.enetrics.com/image-file.gif" alt="Text that displays if image doesn't load">


The alt parameter is used to define a piece of text to be displayed for when the browser doesn't successfully load the image. This can happen if there is a problem with the internet traffic, or if one of the connections between the server and the client (browser) gets broken, or if the web surfer clicked on the stop button to stop loading the image.

In the previous example, I used the complete URL to the image file, however relative URL's can be used if the image file is stored in the same directory on the same server as the HTML document that executed the call to retrieve the Image file.

You can also specify the justification (i.e. Alignment) parameter as in the following example which will center the image (Remember to also use the <center> and </center> tags for those browsers that don't support the justification parameter in the <img> tag.

<img src="http://www.enetrics.com/image-file.gif" alt="Text that displays if image doesn't load" ALIGN="center">


You can also right justify the image by simply using the value of "right" for the ALIGN parameter as in the following example:

<img src="http://www.enetrics.com/image-file.gif" alt="Text that displays if image doesn't load" ALIGN="right">
