Adding Images with Attributes in HTML

Writer: compnomicscompnomics

Images can enhance your website's visual appeal and convey information effectively. Here's how to add images with attributes in HTML:


Basic Structure:

The core element for adding an image is the <img> tag. It uses two main attributes:

  • src: Specifies the path to the image file (e.g., src="image.jpg").

  • alt: Provides alternative text for the image, important for accessibility and SEO (e.g., alt="A beautiful sunset").

Example:

HTML

<img src="images/sunset.jpg" alt="A beautiful sunset">

Additional Attributes:

  • width and height: Set the image dimensions in pixels (e.g., width="300" and height="200").

  • title: Adds a tooltip text displayed when hovering over the image (e.g., title="Enjoy the stunning scenery!").

  • style: Allows inline CSS styling (e.g., style="border: 5px solid #ccc;").

Example with More Attributes:

HTML

<img src="images/product.png" alt="Product illustration" width="250" height="180" title="Click to learn more">

Remember:

  • Use descriptive and relevant alt text for accessibility and SEO.

  • Optimize image size and quality for faster loading times.

  • Consider using responsive design techniques for images to adapt to different screen sizes.

Additional Tips:

  • Use dedicated image folders to organize your project.

  • Validate your HTML code to ensure correct syntax and avoid errors.

  • Explore image manipulation tools to resize, crop, and edit your images.
