Images are added to HTML content using the IMG tag: <IMG
src="/Portals/0/myimagefile">. This is a stand alone element,
without a closing part. The content added will also be in-line,
occuring at the position of the tag.
For an image we need to
specify the source of the content. This may either be relative to
the current content html file position, for example src="map.gif" if
the file is in the same directory, or its position is known relative to
the current file position. It is also possible to reference an
image on another website
src=http://www.mywebsite.com/images/map.gif. The copyright terms
on images referenced in this wway should be checked. If possible it
would be better to copy the image to your server.
Using the
image tag in this way there is no control over the size of your
image. It will be shown in the browser at the same size as the
original image. The image tag also permits the height and width
to be specified. If only one of them is specified then the image
will be sized proportionately according to that one.
It is
better to use the width and height attributes to specify the image size
correctly. Specifying a smaller size wastes bandwidth and
specifying a larger size will result in a degraded image.
The align attribute may be used to determine the positioning and flow of text around an image.
