Html img src function

HTMLImageElement: src property

The HTMLImageElement property src , which reflects the HTML src attribute, specifies the image to display in the element.

Value

When providing only a single image, rather than a set of images from which the browser selects the best match for the viewport size and display pixel density, the src attribute is a string specifying the URL of the desired image. This can be set either within the HTML itself using the src content attribute, or programmatically by setting the element’s src property.

If you use the srcset content attribute to provide multiple image options for different display pixel densities, the URL specified by the src attribute is used in one of two ways:

• as a fallback for browsers that don’t support srcset .
• as an equivalent for specifying an image in srcset with the size multiplier 1x ; that is, the image specified by src is used on low-density screens (such as typical 72 DPI or 96 DPI displays).

Additionally, if you use src along with both sizes (or the corresponding sizes content attribute) and srcset in order to choose an image based on the viewport size, the src attribute is only used as a fallback for browsers that don’t support sizes and srcset ; otherwise, it’s not used at all.

Examples

Specifying a single image

HTML

img src="grapefruit-slice-332-332.jpg" width="160" alt="Slices of grapefruit, looking yummy." /> 

Result

Using src with an image set

When using a set of images with the srcset property, the src serves as either a fallback for older browsers, or as the 1x size of the image.

HTML

Result

Specifying a fallback for viewport-based selection

When using viewport-bases selection of an image from a srcset by also specifying the sizes property, the src property serves as the fallback to be used on browsers that don’t support viewport-based selection. Browsers that do support viewport-based selection will ignore src in this situation.

HTML Tag

The tag is used to embed an image in an HTML page.

Images are not technically inserted into a web page; images are linked to web pages. The tag creates a holding space for the referenced image.

The tag has two required attributes:

• src — Specifies the path to the image
• alt — Specifies an alternate text for the image, if the image for some reason cannot be displayed

Note: Also, always specify the width and height of an image. If width and height are not specified, the page might flicker while the image loads.

Tip: To link an image to another document, simply nest the tag inside an tag (see example below).
