<IMG> tag is used to place images in the text.
It has a number of optional parameters. In its simplest form, it could
look like this;
<IMG SRC="house.jpg">
A common mistake is to leave out the WIDTH and
HEIGHT parameters. When a browser then reads the file, it
must wait for the image file to download before it can calculate its size
and display the page, *or* it makes a guess about the image size and displays
the page and then *adjusts* everything when the dimesions of the image
become available.
This causes irritating delays or jumping content for the readers of the
web pages. Therefore, always specify the width and height of the
images used on the web!
Here is an example of an <IMG> tag with the recommended
minimum of parameters;
<IMG SRC="car.jpg" WIDTH=200 HEIGHT=230 BORDER=0 ALT="My car">
To turn off the toolbar that Internet Explorer displays in the upper left hand corner of images that are 200 x 200 pixels or larger, you have three options:
- Specify
GALLERYIMG=NOin the IMG tag - Include this tag in the HEAD of your HTML:
<META HTTP-EQUIV="imagetoolbar" CONTENT="no"> - Ask your audience to choose Tools, Internet Options, Advanced and uncheck "Enable Image Toolbar"
