Images and Hyperlinks

To include a graphic image into a Web document, the <IMG> markup is used. It can take several optional parameters, and can refer to a variety of image formats. Basic usage is:
<IMG SRC="photo.gif">
It could also look something like:
<IMG SRC="photo.gif" align=right width=200 height=100 alt="Photo">

 
The hyperlink is the basis of the entire "linked documents" idea of the Web. The HTML looks like:
<A HREF="http://www.latrobe.edu.au/index.html">La Trobe University</A>
In a browser, this would normally be displayed something like:
La Trobe University
When the user moves the cursor (mouse pointer) over this text, and "clicks", the browser fetches the URL named in the HREF parameter and displays it instead of the current page.
