<IMG SRC="image.ext" ALT="An image..." BORDER=xx HEIGHT=45 WIDTH=45>
Image is the name of your image,
while .ext is the extension of your image, the three-letter addition to the end of the file
name. Only two types of images can be used as web page images, those with the extension
of .GIF and those with the extension of .JPG (sometimes .JPEG). The ALT option
defines the text that a browser will display in case it can't find your image or if your visitor
is viewing your page in a browser that cannot display images. Though the BORDER
option's main function is to put a border around your image, it is very important when you
make your image a clickable link, like you learned in the last section. If you make an image
a hyperlink, a blue border appears around your image. Sometimes, this can look ugly. So,
to get rid of the border, you can set the BORDER option to 0. The HEIGHT option
sets the height of your image in pixels. While you can simply do away with this option, it
does allow you to change the height of your image without having to change the actual
image. The WIDTH option allows you to set the width of your image just like the
HEIGHT sets the height. Also, if the layout of your page is important to you, the
HEIGHT and WIDTH options will show the visitor about where you image will be by
drawing a box with the dimensions that you specified using the options. This not only is important in layout, but can also speed the loading of a page in some instances.
