Changing the Font You can type, where fontname2 is your second choice of fonts, should the user not have the first font installed on his system. Size=n, where n is a number from 1 to 7. The default is 3. Values 1 to 7 for basefont correspond to 8, 10, 12, 14, 18, 24, 36 points respectively.

HTML Background The tag has two attributes where you can specify backgrounds. The background can be a color or an image. Bgcolor The bgcolor attribute specifies a background-color for an HTML page. Background The background attribute specifies a background-image for an HTML page. If the image is smaller than the browser window, the image will repeat itself until it fills the entire browser window.

HTML Images In HTML, images are defined with the tag. To display an image on a page, you need to use the src attribute. The value of the src attribute is the URL of the image you want to display on your page. The alt attribute is used to define an "alternate text" for an image. The "alt" attribute tells the reader what he or she is missing on a page if the browser can't load images.
