  • In HTML, images are defined with the <img> tag. The <img> tag is empty, it contains attributes only, and does not have a closing tag. The src attribute specifies the URL (web address) of the image:

<IMG SRC="url" alt="some_text"> 
<IMG SRC="html5.gif" alt="HTML5 Icon" width="128" height="128">
<IMG SRC="smiley.gif" alt="Smiley face" style="float:right;width:42px;height:42px;">
<IMG SRC="planets.gif" alt="Planets" usemap="#planetmap" style="width:145px;height:126px;">
