The <IMG> or image tag allows an HTML author to insert a graphic on their web page. All that must be included in the <IMG> tag is a reference to the URL of the image source.
The following parameters can be included in the <IMG> tag.

SRC="image URL"

This is a standard URL referencing the location of the image file on a remote server or the local system. All limitations and features of URL's apply this parameter as well. The file type of the image must be either GIF or JPEG, with the optional convention of using the '.gif' or '.jpeg' file extensions respectively for either format.
