BASIC CONCEPTS IN HTML CODE FOR WEB PAGES
IMAGE TAGS
[IMAGE TAGS]
The Tag for placing images on a web page is:
<IMG SRC= "filename.xxx">.
The file name inside the <IMG SRC => tag determines the image that will
appear on the page.
The file name for this GO graphic is "gobtn.gif" and
it is placed on the page by typing <IMG SRC= "gobtn.gif">.
The gray bar on the page is also an image, named "bar1.jpg". Images may be
.jpg or .gif files. Sometimes other formats are used, but .jpg and .gif are
most common.
IMPORTANT:
The "case" or capital letters must match the filename EXACTLY. For instance
"bar1.JPG" or "BAR1.JPG" would result in an error, which might appear
as: 
a symbol might appear with a file name, but the graphic would not be
viewable.
Some browsers or viewers may be more forgiving than others, so it
is best to get it right from the start.
To indicate a file name or insert a message to be viewed while the file is
loading type in: <IMG SRC= "gobtn.gif" alt= "Name of Graphic Here">.
To
use this graphic as a Hyper-Link to another web page the following should be
added to the Graphic Identity:
<a
href="http://www.veren.com/">
<img border="0" src="gobtn.gif" alt="Go To VEREN"></a>
The <a href="http web address"> and the close </a> generates a Hyper-Link.
Images may also be "sized" to fit the page layout.
This is accomplished by
typing <IMG SRC= "width= #"> in the tag line.
For example:
<IMG SRC= "IMG SRC="bar1.JPG" width= 60">
<IMG SRC= "IMG SRC="bar1.JPG" width= 120">
<IMG SRC= "IMG SRC="bar1.JPG" width= 180">
Some images, such as this "3demail2.gif" are animated and appear to move.
[Image Alignment]
Images may be placed in the body of a paragraph by inserting the <IMG SRC= "filename.xxx">
command in the text where the image is desired.
Text will not "wrap" around
an image. To achieve that effect, the image and text can be be placed in a
table. Or you can place the <IMG SRC= "filename.xxx"> at the
beginning of a text line and add the "ALIGN=RIGHT" or "ALIGN=LEFT" line to
the image TAG.
Default placement of images is to the left of the page. Images may be placed
at the center or right of the page by adding the placement in the command
line, for example:
<IMG SRC="gobtn.gif" align=right">
<"CENTER"> <IMG SRC="bar1.JPG" width= 180> <"/CENTER">
The default image placement for images placed with text is at the beginning
of a paragraph, as shown.
Text can be aligned at the top of an image, by typing:
<IMG SRC= "filename.xxx"> ALIGN= "TOP">
To center the text next to the image, type:
<IMG SRC= "filename.xxx"> ALIGN= "CENTER">
With these basic instructions an attractive personal web page can be created
in a day or two, depending on familiarity with the computer and the browser.
Images are found at various sites on the Internet, and most may be copied by
clicking the right mouse button and choosing "copy" then selecting the hard
drive location for storage.
Please, DO check for "Copyright" and respect
link requests from providers so that all may enjoy sharing images, icons and
graphics from the Web.
