Chapter 8: Working with Images and Multimedia

In this chapter, you will learn how to embed images and multimedia content, such as audio and video, into your web pages. Proper use of images and multimedia is key to creating engaging and dynamic pages.

Embedding Images on Web Pages

Images are essential visual elements on web pages. Here are some ways to incorporate images into your content:

1. `< img >` Element: The `< img >` element is used to display images on a page. You can specify the image path using the ` src` attribute .

``` html

< img src ="image.jpg" alt ="Image Description">

```

src` attribute points to the image file.

- The ` alt` attribute provides alternative text for accessibility and is displayed if the image cannot be loaded.

2. Responsive Images: To ensure that images fit different screen sizes, you can use the responsive images technique with the ` max-width` property in CSS.

``` css

img {

max-width : 100%;

height : auto;

}

```

Audio and Video in HTML5

HTML5 introduced native elements to embed audio and video on your web pages. Here are the main elements:

1. `< audio >`: Use the `< audio >` element to embed audio files.

``` html

< audio controls >

< source src ="audio.mp3" type =" audio / mpeg ">

Your browser does not support audio playback.

</ audio >

```

- The ` controls ` attribute adds playback controls.

- You can provide multiple audio formats to ensure compatibility with different browsers.

2. `< video >`: Use the `< video >` element to embed video files.

``` html

< video controls >

< source src ="video.mp4" type =" video /mp4">

Your browser does not support video playback.

</ video >

```

- The ` controls ` attribute adds playback controls.

- Just like audio, you can provide multiple video formats for greater compatibility.

Incorporating External Content

In addition to images, audio and video, you can embed external content such as Google maps or social media posts using embed code provided by the relevant service.
