Images and Video Worksheet

Problem 1

Find an image and copy it to the 'images' folder that was included in your starter files for this course (the starter files were all put in a folder named 'web-programming'). Then add an IMG element below that displays the image. Make sure to set the alt attribute, and you may set the width attribute if you like.

Problem 2

Why is it important to use small file sizes for images (image files that are small in kilobytes)?

Using small image file sizes is crucial for improving website performance by speeding up loading times, reducing bandwidth usage, and enhancing user experience, especially on mobile devices

Problem 3

If you want an image to have a transparent background, what type of image should it be (what file extension would you use)?

PNG (Portable Network Graphics) is the preferred image format for images requiring transparent backgrounds.

Problem 4

What are responsive images?

Responsive images are images that automatically adjust their size and resolution based on the screen size and resolution of the device being used to view them. This ensures that images look good and load quickly on all devices, from desktop computers to smartphones.

Problem 5

Find another image and copy it to the 'images' folder. Then add an IMG element below that displays the image. Make sure to set the width and alt attributes. Turn the image into a link by nesting it within an A element. Clicking on the image should open up google.com in a new browser tab.

Problem 6

Find a video on YouTube that you like, and embed it into this page.
