arose a sense of interest to the end user.
• Including graphics in page will make the
page more attractive.
• HTML provides, a unique way to include
any type of graphics file into the
document, but many of the browsers
supports only GIF (Graphics Interchange
Format) and JPEG (Joint Photographic
Expert Group) files.

• The tag used to display an image on HTML
document is <IMG> tag.
Attributes of <IMG> tag
• SRC – source (refers to the filename of an
image)

• The background attribute of the <body>
tag is also used to add a background
image to a document.

displayed as a background image for the
web page.
