Intro to HTML - images

There are two types of images used on web pages:

gif: best for pictures with solid blocks of colour - limited to 256 colours - can have transparent backgrounds jpg: mainly used for photographs - unlimited colours

and this is how an image is specified:
```
<img src="duck.gif" width=199 height=157>
```
Note that the img tag does not have a closing tag.
Note also that you can save an image from any web page by right clicking on the image.
text can be beside an image - you use the align attribute to say where you want the image. For example,
```
<img src="duck.gif" border=1 align=left>
This is a picture of me on a good computer day.
<br clear=left>
```
produces
This is a picture of me on a good computer day.

Notice the <br clear=left> to allow me to have this line NOT beside the picture.
Note too the border attribute.
