## Img Src Attribute
|
|
The `<img src>` attribute refers to the source of the image you want to display. The `img` tag will not display an image without the `src` attribute. However, if you set the source to the location of the image, you can display any image.
|
|
|
|
There is an image of the freeCodeCamp Logo located at `https://avatars0.githubusercontent.com/u/9892522?v=4&s=400`
|
|
|
|
You can set that as the image using the `src` attribute.
|
|
|
|
```html
|
|
<html>
|
|
<head>
|
|

<img src="https://avatars0.githubusercontent.com/u/9892522?v=4&s=400">
|
|

|
|
</html>
|
|
```
|

|
|
The above code displays like this:

|
The `src` attribute is supported by all browsers.
|
|
|
|
You can also have a locally hosted file as your image.
|
|
|
|
For example, `<img src="images/freeCodeCamp.jpeg>` would work if you had a folder called `images` which had the `freeCodeCamp.jpeg` inside, as long as the 'images' folder was in the same location as the `index.html` file.
|
|
|
|
`../files/index.html`
|
|
|
|
`..files/images/freeCodeCamp.jpeg`
|
