Chapter 3: Dressing Up Pages with Images
Chapter 3 Dressing Up Pages with Images
Web fact for the day
Wired adults will spend an average of 5.3 percent of the rest of their lives online, according to the research firm Cyber Dialogue. That adds up to a total of 23.5 months, or 17,500 hours.
If you are a Web addict, you can certainly relate to spending a significant portion of your waking hours online. No doubt you invest the vast majority of that time doing incredibly useful and important things—such as trolling eBay for tapes to complete your ABBA 8-track collection. But there is the off chance that a smidgen of that time is wasted. Regardless of how productive a Web surfer you are, you encounter your fair share of images (photographs, cartoons, logos, etc.) while tooling around the Web. And, that brings us to the topic of this most visual of chapters—images.
It’s hard to go anywhere on the Web without encountering images of some sort. They convey meaning, share information, and serve as window dressing for the vast majority of Web pages in existence. Although it is certainly possible to misuse images from a graphic design perspective, almost anyone would argue that Web pages benefit from them. Images helped spur the Web’s rapid acceptance, and will continue to draw attention to the Web as it evolves.
This chapter will show you how to display images using HTML. More specifically, you will learn about the single tag that embeds images in Web pages. You’ll also get friendly with the basic types of images, along with the details about when to use them.
