Foil 15 Inlined Images

From Introduction to HTML ECS400 Senior Undergraduate Course -- Spring Semester 1996. by Nancy J. McCracken * See also color IMAGE

Browsers such as Mosaic and Netscape allow you to include images inbetween lines of text.
The image must be in GIF format. (Netscape now allows inlined JPEG images.)
Suppose that we make a banner for our company that includes the name in a GIF image. Then we can replace our original plain text header with the image:
<img src="rugbanner.gif", alt="Oriental Rug Company">
Only the SRC attribute of the image is required. ALT is optional and gives alternate text for text-based viewers such as Lynx which cannot show the image.
The attribute BORDER=value tells the width of the picture border in pixels (this is blue if the image is a link).
The VSPACE=value and HSPACE=value attributes specify the numbers of pixels of blank space to surround the image.
Another attribute is ALIGN=top|texttop|middle|absmiddle|baseline|bottom|absbottom. If there is any text after the picture which can fit on the formatted page besides the picture, this will say how to place it. The default is "bottom".
