Inserts an image.

Sets the alignment of the image or of the surrounding text. The default is TOP.

TOP	Surrounding text is aligned with the top of the image.
MIDDLE	Surrounding text is aligned with the middle of the image.
CENTER	Surrounding text is aligned with the center of the image.
BOTTOM	Surrounding text is aligned with the bottom of the image.
LEFT	The picture is drawn as a left-flush "floating image," and text flows around it.
RIGHT	The picture is drawn as a right-flush "floating image," and text flows around it.

ALT=text

Specifies text that will be displayed in place of the picture if Show Pictures is turned off.

BORDER=n

Specifies the size of a border to be drawn around the image. If the image is a hyperlink, the border is drawn in the appropriate hyperlink color. If the image is not a hyperlink, the border is invisible.

CLASS=type

Indicates the class to which the element belongs.

CONTROLS

If a video clip is present, displays a set of controls under the clip.

DYNSRC=url

Specifies the address of a video clip or VRML world to be displayed in the window. Stands for Dynamic Source.

HEIGHT=n

Along with WIDTH=, specifies the size at which the picture is drawn. If the picture's actual dimensions differ from those specified, the picture is stretched to match what is specified. Internet Explorer also uses this to draw a placeholder of appropriate size for the picture before it is loaded.

HSPACE=n

Along with VSPACE=, specifies margins for the image. Similar to BORDER=, except the margins are not painted with color when the image is a hyperlink.

ID=value

Specifies a unique value for the element over the document.

ISMAP=image

Identifies the picture as a server-side image map. Clicking the picture transmits the coordinates of the click back to the server, triggering a jump to another page.

LOOP=n

Specifies how many times a video clip will loop when activated. If n=-1, or if LOOP=INFINITE is specified, it will loop indefinitely.

SRC=url

Specifies the address of the picture to insert.

START=start-event

Specifies when the file specified by the DYNSRC= attribute should start playing. The start-event can be one of these values:

FILEOPEN	Start playing as soon as the file is done opening. This is the default.
MOUSEOVER	Start playing when the user moves the mouse pointer over the animation.

Both values can be set but must be separated with a comma.

STYLE=css1 properties

Specifies style information.

USEMAP=url

Identifies the picture as a client-side image map and specifies a MAP to use for acting on the user's clicks.

VSPACE=n

Along with HSPACE=, specifies margins for the image. Similar to BORDER=, except the margins are not painted with color when the image is a hyperlink.

WIDTH=n

Along with HEIGHT=, specifies the size at which the picture is drawn. If the picture's actual dimensions differ from those specified, the picture is stretched to match what is specified. Internet Explorer also uses this to draw a placeholder of appropriate size for the picture before it is loaded.
