The WIDTH=70 and HEIGHT=43 attributes do not change the size of the displayed image, they tell the browser how much space to set aside for the GIF image before that image is loaded from the web server. This allows the browser to "render" the page much more quickly.
The AnyBrowser GIF below is intended as a link to www.anybrowser.com, a web site that promotes universal web pages which can be viewed in "any browser. The HTML code to display this in-line image and use it as a link anchor is:
<a href="http://anybrowser.com/"><IMG SRC="anybrowser_icon.gif"
WIDTH=88 HEIGHT=31 BORDER=0 ALT="Click for anybrowser.com"></a>
If you click on the image below, you should be transported to AnyBrowser.com.
The moving fish below is an Animated GIF. Although these dancing images can add interest to a web site, they are usually overdone by beginners. As well they are often quite large files. This one is 31KB, but I have seen some that are 150KB. Resist these animated GIFs until you are a very experienced web page designer.
