HTML Image Basics

HTML images are embedded using the <img> tag, which is an empty element containing only attributes, with src and alt being required. The src attribute specifies the image path, while the alt attribute provides alternative text for accessibility and cases where the image cannot be displayed. Image size can be controlled using either the style attribute or width and height attributes, though using style is recommended for better responsiveness and consistency with CSS.

Advanced Image Techniques

Images can be placed in different folders or on other servers by specifying the correct path in the src attribute, allowing for flexible organization and external resource usage. HTML allows for animated GIFs and using images as links by wrapping the <img> tag in an <a> tag, enhancing interactivity. CSS can be used to control image positioning, such as floating images to the left or right of text, providing more layout options for web designers.

CSS Color Properties

CSS allows for specifying colors using predefined color names, RGB, HEX, HSL, RGBA, or HSLA values, offering a wide range of color options for web design. Colors can be applied to various HTML elements, including text, backgrounds, and borders, using properties like color, background-color, and border-color. CSS also supports transparency through the opacity property or by using RGBA/HSLA color values, enabling the creation of semi-transparent elements for advanced visual effects.
