## CSS Images
This helps in adding an image to a website.
#### Code Sample
``````
* **src:** It consists the value of the path to the required image
* **alt:** If the image is not displayed then an alternate text can be displayed using alt attribute.
* **width:** This specifies a width for the image(can be percent or px or auto)
* **height:** This specifies a height for the image(can be percent or px or auto)
#### CSS Defaults
The `img` element will be rendered by default in most browsers to be displayed as an inline-block display type unless specified otherwise.
```
img {
display: inline-block;
}
```
#### More Information:
It is advised to change any one parameter, either height or width, to get a proportionate image. Changing both dimensions results in forced scaling and is not advisable.
