It is unlikely that the Web would be so popular if it didn't support graphical content. Graphics give Web pages visual appeal that keeps users surfing for hours. Graphics are also essential for people designing and posting Web pages because graphics often convey a message more powerfully than text alone.

Placing an image on a Web page is a relatively easy matter—you need only one HTML tag. This tag also has many attributes that give you a good bit of control over how your graphics are presented.
