Insert an Image

Keystrokes: [Ctrl] + I
Menu Command: Insert > Image
 

You can use this command to add an image to your page, with as little or as much control as you need.

Height and Width

These are automatically calculated for you, but you can adjust these values for yourself. By specifying these values, a browser will be able to render your page more quickly. RECOMMENDED: Normally

Alternative Text

This is a description of the image which can be used either to tell people without images enabled in their browser to know what the image is meant to convey (especially for hyperlinked images). This can also be used so that partially sighted users can hear what the image s meant to say using special software. RECOMMENDED: Always

Alternative Low-Res Image

This provides an alternative image for people with a limited number of colors on their monitor. RECOMMENDED: Optional

Style

This is an example of in-line style sheets. You can specify any CSS values here of the format:

body-background: #ffffff; font-family: Verdana, Arial;

Not all browsers support this.

Border

This specifies the width of a border that appears around an image in a hyperlink. This is an optional attribute, and the most popular configuration is set to zero.

Alignment

Specifies the relative location of an element to a certain point in the page. This is an optional attribute.

Name

This should be set if the image is to be used in conjunction with JavaScript or CSS, as it allows direct manipulation of the object. This is an optional attribute.
