Working with an Image

Web pages often include different types of images. An image can function as a 

link or simply add visual appeal. There are several types of Web graphic file 

formats, but the most common are JPEG, GIF, and PNG. 

JPEG

 is the pre 

ferred format for photographs while 

GIF

 is well suited for line art or images 

with large areas of colors. 

PNG

 is an advanced file format which uses a 

license free method of compressing images. Image compression is important 

because it affects the overall file size of a Web page. The smaller the overall 

file size, the quicker the page will download.

We'll insert a 

GIF

 into the table and see how to accommodate the image for 

users with disabilities. Then we'll alter the table foreground and background 

colors to match the image we insert.
