A Few Example Codes

You have a graphic that you really love but it's too small / large for the space on your page...

You can still use your graphic, just use the extra size tag at the end to make it fit. Be careful though, if you don't keep the proportions the same your graphic will end up looking very strange. For example you start with an image that's too large and the code looks like this:

You should ALWAYS use the size tags whether you are changing the dimensions of your picture or not. All browsers load images faster if they have size tags, and the browser will show the text regardless of whether it has trouble loading some of the images.

Does it take your images a long time to load? Help out the viewer with this...

the ALT=" " tag at the end will display the text that you put between the quotes inside the box until your picture loads.

You're using a graphic with a URL link, and you don't like the little box around it?
Just set your border to zero like this

You load your page and lots of the images are showing as broken links...

It's most likely one of three things. First, did you remember to upload the images to your server? If you did then it's either the file name or the file location. Check your filenames and make sure that you have the small letters/capital letters EXACTLY as in your image files. HTML is case sensitive and this is a common mistake.

If your file names look ok, then check the location. Some HTML editing programs are notorious for pointing to files on your computer's hard drive instead of your server's.
