Why do images not have a closing tag?. Also what does "src=" before the image url mean in html?

Question

Html tags

Answer 1

savvy

1. The image tag :- <img> is a standalone tag which means an empty tag and hence it doesn't have a closing tag

However you can put "/" at the end

Eg : <img />
( but this is optional )

2. "src" is the url link of the image which is to be displayed on the webpage
