Part 1 of MPK on-line's Images in HTML

Yes you can add this site to your Active Channels

Firstly, how you put an image on your page
This is very simple you just include the <img src="location">, location being the URL where you put your image

What about making it a link?
All you have to do is put the <img src="location"> inside a link tag, for example <a href="http://dspace.dial.pipex.com/mpk/"> <img src="http://dspace.dial.pipex.com/mpk/mpk.gif"> </a>
would give you a graphical link to my page as below

But there is a horrible border round that picture!
Ok all you have to do now is include border="0" in the <img src="location"> tag, for example <img src="http://dspace.dial.pipex.com/mpk/mpk.gif" border ="0"> </a>
And it will look like this

On the other hand if you like the border you can of course make it a big as you like

What about allocating width and height attributes?
For this you just add the phrase width=#pixels or width=#% for the percentage or the screen, this is useful if you are going to have a sideline like this height is done in the same way.

What about naming pictures
For this you use alt="name-of-image" so you now have which will look like this,
<a href="http://dspace.dial.pipex.com/mpk/">
<img src="http://dspace.dial.pipex.com/mpk/mpk.gif" alt="MPK on-line" border ="0" height="35" width="80" > </a> Move your cursor over the image for it's name

NEWish commands, the map,ismap and NOSAVE
The Map command is just for image maps they need and commands. The NOSAVE command is brillent is stops people saving your images! whats more it is simple to put in your images you just put it along with the alt command. I think it may be java based but I know 95% of my visitors have java enambed browsers so that doesn't really matter anyway even if is stops one person stealing your work surly its worth the effort ;-) What about aligning pictures with text
The best way to do this is to use tables but this can be tricky; depending on how many pictures you have. so to make it clear I have done this on a separate page called Image info part 2 of course

My favourate web site, especially the pages on images
