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)?

Bigger sized images will take a lot longer to load into the page, and when the page loads slowly, users are more likely to leave the page.

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)?

You'll want to use a PNG file, because PNG files support transparent backgrounds.

Problem 4

What are responsive images?

Responsive images adjust the size of the image based on the size of the screen. Instead of having the width set to a number, you could set it to a percentage of the screen.

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.
