Links and images in HTML: href, src and alt

The address of a link goes in href. A link to another site must start with https://; inside your own site you write a file path.

<a href="https://example.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener">External</a>
<a href="about.html">About</a>
<a href="#contact">Jump to contact</a>
<a href="mailto:me@example.com">Email me</a>

<img src="images/cat.jpg" alt="A grey cat sleeping on a sofa" width="400">

• src — the image path. If it does not show, check the file name, folder and upper/lower case.
• alt — a text description for when the image fails and for screen readers. Do not skip it; use alt="" only for pure decoration.
• Set width/height so the page does not jump while loading.
