Hi all,

I was wondering what are the options for having images on a web page.
The standard approach is the IMG tag. Any other methods using standard
HTML. How about other approaches like DHTML, Javascripts etc.

Just give me the names for the solutions you think are possible. I
will do the further searching myself.

Thanks in advance

I much prefer IMG. Since I hand-code my HTML, IMG immediately tells me
I am dealing with an image without having to read further into the code.

What on earth for?

Depends what sortof image; as others have pointed out, object and CSS
can be used for bitmaps. There's also the <canvas> element for vector
graphics.

I have a web crawler and I want to get the images linked in a page.
Any type of image, from jpg to bmp to whatever you can think of.
