Inserting Images (pg. 125)
Images are a very important part of an HTML document, allowing the user to more visualize
what it is that you want him to do. Images take many forms from pictures of products being
sold to buttons that the user is supposed to "press".
Images come in many different formats like BMP (bitmap), JPG, GIF, and others. The most popular
image formats used in HTML documents are JPG and GIF. With GIF images, you can have animated
pictures like the following: <img src="new.gif">
Click the [STOP] button on the browser and the animation terminates.
JPG format pictures occupy are compressed and cocupy only a fraction of the original size. This makes for faster downloading and quicker loading of web pages.
