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)?

Small file sizes for images can help improve website loading times, and ensures that the end-user has a better experience navigating the website because it uses less bandwidth. Additionally, it makes it more efficient for the website server too.

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)?

If you would like an image with a transparent background, you would use a PNG (.PNG) image file.

Problem 4

What are responsive images?

Responsive images are images that are designed to adapt to differing screen sizes and resolution. This ensures that images are optimal across various devices.

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.
