Anchors & Images

Anchors mark a position in the document flow. The document code is read from the top of the file to the bottom and the elements are placed in that order on the page, unless there is code to alter the natural flow. You typically use anchors to fire up another page, either in the same window or a new one. You can also mark a spot in your document and then use it as a place to jump to from elsewhere on the page.

The Image tag is used to point to where an image file is located, for loading into your page. In addition there are a number of attributes you can use to define placement and size. Images are separate files that are linked to your main page. Remeber to use an image optimization tool to reduce file, size such as Irfanview, to reduce the load time.
