A brief lecture on graphic formats using the following illustrations
Further illustration and explanation of these formats can be found at Widearea.UK:
Placement of Images
Generally, use the <p> tag to align images. For instance:
- <p align="center"><img src="../../../graphics/garlic01.gif"></p> gives this
You also have the option of getting a sort of text wrapping by using the align attribute in the img tag. For instance:
- <img src="../../../graphics/garlic01.gif" align="left"> in a paragraph gives:
A
graphics that has text flowing to the left.
Note that paragraphs will continue to appear until the bottom of the graphics
or you use <br clear="left">
Which puts the text here.
This is just a quick idea about images if you want to start working with them.
*A new format called png has been developed
to replace both of these compression schemes, but full acceptance has been
slow. For now we will stick to gif and jpeg. 
WebQuests
Your final product for the Web unit will be a WebQuest. This will be a group project, and should cover an area of mutual interest in training. We'll start today by defining what a WebQuest is and then giving an idea of how to plan and create one using Dreamweaver.
