HTML Basics-The img tag-usage and attributes used with it-Including in image is a very simple job. The tag is used for this purpose and the attribute ‘SRC’ to take the image URL value. In an HTML page, technically no image is incerted but the images are linked to the HTML pages. A holding space is created by the tag for the referenced image. The image tag is nested inside tags if image required to be linked to another documant. The ‘SRC’ attribute takes the image URL as value and determines the source of the image file. Only .jpeg, .gif and .png files are acceptable. The tag is an empty tag(No end tag required) in HTML but in XHTML a closing tag is required.
