| Type of Alignment/Image Options |
What it looks like! |
LEFT |
Observe that this positions the image at the left side
with text flowing around it on the right. This is a new HTML option that may not show up on all older
browsers! |
RIGHT |
Observe that this positions the image at the right
side with text flowing around it on the left. This is a new HTML option that may not show up on all
older browsers! |
TOP |
Observe that this causes the image to run into the
paragraph and the line containing the image is aligned with the image top! |
BOTTOM |
Observe that this causes the image to run into the
paragraph and the line containing the image is aligned with the image bottom! |
MIDDLE |
Observe that this causes the image to run into the
paragraph and the line containing the image is aligned with the image middle! |
HSPACE |
This option will add 10 pixels of blank space
to the left and right of the image. This will also push the image away from the left margin in this
example. |
VSPACE |
This option will add 5 pixels of blank space
to the top and bottom of the image. Obviously the V in VSPACE stands for vertical! |
HSPACE/VSPACE |
This option will add 6 pixels of blank
space to the left, right, top and bottom of the image. This will also push the image away from the left
margin in this example and create a uniform blank space around the entire graphic. |
With Border |
This option will add 10 pixels of
blank space to the left and right of the image and place a border around the entire graphic. The number
used after border represents the thickness of the image border. Try setting linking graphics
(buttons) borders to 0. This has the effect of improving the color balance of a web page. |
With Size (Height/Width) |
This option will add 10
pixels of blank space to the left and right of the image and give the height and width of a graphic in
pixels. If you know the dimensions of the graphic, it is more efficient to provide the coordinates to save
browser loading time especially when a page has a great deal of graphics. This feature can also be used
to make a graphic load smaller (like this example). This is not a good idea, however. If your forcing
somebody to load a large graphic into their browser, why show it smaller? It is better to produce a smaller
graphic in gif or jpg form in the first place! |
