Browsers such as Mosaic and Netscape allow you to include images inbetween lines of text.
|
| 2 |
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:
|
| 4 |
<img src="rugbanner.gif", alt="Oriental Rug Company">
|
| 5 |
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.
|
| 6 |
The attribute BORDER=value tells the width of the picture border in pixels (this is blue if the image is a link).
|
| 7 |
The VSPACE=value and HSPACE=value attributes specify the numbers of pixels of blank space to surround the image.
|
| 8 |
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".
