Foil 19 External Viewers for Images, Audio, and Video

From Introduction to HTML--ECS400 fall 97 ECS400 Senior Undergraduate Course -- Spring Semester 97. by Nancy J. McCracken *

Mosaic and Netscape can show images in other formats as well as audio and video.
The image, audio, or video must be in a file with the correct file extension. For example, images in JPEG or TIFF formats must have the form
  • image1.jpeg
  • image2.tiff
Or one audio format has the form
  • sounds.au
In your document, you put an anchor to an external document which has the image, audio, or video
<a href="tekke.gif"> Click here to see a picture of a Tekke rug. </a>
Saying "click here" is not usually recommended. Instead people generally put a tiny version of the picture, called a thumbnail. Any such picture will have a blue bar around it and everyone assumes that it can be clicked on to get a larger version of the picture.
