</body>
</html>
Output
The 'src' Attribute
It is a necessary attribute that describes the source or path of the image.
It instructs the browser where to look for the image on the server. The "src" attribute specifies the URL (web address) of the image. The location of image may be on the same directory or another server.
If a browser cannot find an image, it will display the value of the alt attribute:
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title> HTML Image Alt Attribute </title>
<body>
<img src="HTML-Image.png" alt="HTML5 Image" style="width:400px; height:250px;">
</body>
</html>
The 'alt' Attribute
The "alt" attribute defines an alternate text for the image, if it can't be displayed.
The value of the alt attribute describes the image in words. It is considered good for SEO prospective.
The "alt" attribute provides an alternate text for an image, if the user for some reason cannot view it (because of slow connection, an error in the src attribute, or if the user uses a screen reader).
If a browser cannot find an image, it will display the value of the alt attribute:
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title> HTML Image Alt Attribute </title>
<body>
<img src="HTML-Image.png" alt="HTML5 Image" style="width:400px; height:250px;">
</body>
