| HEIGHT and WIDTH Tags Once you've created your speedy images, make sure to include image width and height (in pixels) in your code. This tells the browser the dimensions of the images it will need to download, which lets the browser begin to display a page before images are finished loading. You should also make sure to use ALT tags to offer alternative text that will be displayed while graphics are downloading. This means that users don't need to wait for graphics -- even speedy ones--but can jump to what they need to find. |
