 Basic HTML Tutorial: Adding Graphics to Your PageHome > Build > Programming > HTML > Basic HTML Tutorial 2.2 Adding Graphics to Your Page Web Pages need graphics. There was a time, not too long ago in fact, when there were no web browsers capable of displaying graphics, which made the internet very dull. Fortunately, browsers started supporting graphic formats long ago, so there isn't much of a concern with compatibility. There are still text browsers out there, and often users will set their browsers to not download images, so we need to make sure they still receive the content. For more information on how to create graphics, click here. To link to a graphic, use the <IMG> tag. Then, use the SRC attribute to specify the path to that graphic. Here is an example of a graphic displayed on a web page: <HTML> The SRC path pointed down 3 levels, to the root directory, to the 'graphics' subdirectory, to a w3nation logo (one that was never used.) If the graphic file is in the same directory as the HTML file, then no path has to be given. You can simply use the filename as the SRC: <IMG SRC="w3nation.gif"> You can also link to a graphic that resides on another server on the internet. For that you must type the Absolute URL of the graphic. For example, if you wanted to use this logo on your page, but didn't want to have to download it to your server, you could use our URL as the SRC path. Be careful with this. Most webmasters frown on people using graphics from their site, and it's also against the law unless you have permission. |
