HTML <img> Tag

Description:

The <img> element embeds an image in the current document at the location of the element's definition. The <img> element has no content; it is usually replaced inline by the image designated by the src attribute, the exception being for left or right-aligned images that are "floated" out of line.

 

Specific Attributes:

longdesc Specifies a URI/URL of a long description - this can elaborate on a shorter description specified with the alt attribute.
