HTML Images, Tables, and Forms

In this topic, we will explore HTML images further and introduce you to additional elements such as images, tables, and forms, which are one of the foundations of web development.

As we saw earlier, we can add images by using the <img> tag along with the src= attribute, but there are more attributes that we should consider, particularly when it comes to accessibility.

Although tables may appear antiquated by today’s visual standards, HTML tables are still used quite often when presenting data in a structured format.

Forms allow us to collect data from visitors, where users enter information that is then sent to a server for processing. One of the most common forms you encounter daily is the user login.
