html images tag

Html Image

An HTML image is used to display an image on a web page. The <img> tag is used to embed an image in an HTML document. The basic syntax of the <img> tag is as follows:

<img src="image.jpg" alt="Description of Image">

The src attribute is used to specify the URL of the image that you want to display. The alt attribute is used to provide a text description of the image, which can be displayed if the image cannot be loaded or if the user is using a screen reader.


Here's an example of how you could use the <img> tag to display an image on a web page:

<html>

  <head>

    <title>My Web Page</title>

  </head>

  <body>

    <h1>My Web Page</h1>

    <p>This is my web page.</p>

    <img src="myimage.jpg" alt="A picture of my cat">

  </body>

</html>

It's important to note that images can also be resized and positioned using CSS. Here's an example of how you could use CSS to resize an image:

<html>

  <head>

    <title>My Web Page</title>

    <style>

      img {

        width: 200px;

        height: 200px;

      }

    </style>

  </head>

  <body>

    <h1>My Web Page</h1>

    <p>This is my web page.</p>

    <img src="myimage.jpg" alt="A picture of my cat">

  </body>

</html>

In this example, the image will be displayed with a width of 200 pixels and a height of 200 pixels.


That's the basic idea of using images in HTML. There are many more things you can do with images, including using images as links, adding borders to images, and using images as background images.
