HTML Images Syntax
The HTML <img> tag is used to embed an image in a web page.

Images are not technically inserted into a web page; images are linked to web
pages. The <img> tag creates a holding space for the referenced image.

The <img> tag is empty, it contains attributes only, and does not have a closing
tag.

The <img> tag has two required attributes:

src - Specifies the path to the image


alt - Specifies an alternate text for the image
Syntax
<img src="url" alt="alternatetext">
The src Attribute
The required src attribute specifies the path (URL) to the image.

Note: When a web page loads, it is the browser, at that moment, that gets the image
from a web server and inserts it into the page. Therefore, make sure that the image
actually stays in the same spot in relation to the web page, otherwise your
visitors will get a broken link icon. The broken link icon and the alt text are
shown if the browser cannot find the image.

Example
<img src="img_chania.jpg" alt="Flowers in Chania">

The alt Attribute


The required alt attribute provides an alternate text for an image, if the user for
some reason cannot view it (because of slow connection, an error in the src
attribute, or if the user uses a screen reader).

The value of the alt attribute should describe the image:

Example
<img src="img_chania.jpg" alt="Flowers in Chania">
