- You also have to use the ALT tag when using these two coding tags so that if the browser the viewer is using cannot see the image, the [ALT] tag will be displayed instead. If the Alt tag is not put into the coding then [IMAGE] will be displayed in the place of the actual picture.
- When you are using this coding it takes the picture from a specified location, so make sure you know where the picture is and make a note of it. If you are entering a picture using this code you would write this into the programming software,
