Images

This image was inserted using the HTML code: <IMG SRC="summer.gif"> If you add text, the default is to have the text lined up with the bottom of the image like this is.

You can add extra tags to make the text line up at the top.
<IMG SRC="summer.gif" align=top> Notice that it only applies to the first line!

Or in the middle. <IMG SRC="summer.gif" align=middle>

Netscape also supports left and right aligned images. This can be combined with the top, middle, and bottom. This one is aligned left and middle.
<IM G SRC="summer.gif" align=right align=middle>

More and more tags for images are being introduced so you will not be limited to these options for long.

Sounds

You can choose now to hear the Wave file, chimes.wav. The code to do this is:

<A HREF="http://www.udel.edu/sine/webseminar/chimes.wav">chimes.wav</A>

Notice that an external viewer is launched. Some of these will play the sound automatically; others will need you to start it up.

Movies

Movies work like sounds in that they need an external viewer. Try this one from Walt Disney in .AVI or Video for Windows format. This is a big file, so it will take a while to load.
Tom and Huck

Again you'll see that an external viewer was launched. You may need a separate viewer for each of the movie types: .avi, QuickTime, and MPEG.
