Section - [23] Where can I learn about using images on the World WideWeb?
If you want to display still images on the World Wide Web, you have a choice of using JPEG or GIF; those two
formats are by far the most widely supported by WWW browsers. (We can hope that PNG will soon become
popular enough to replace GIF on the Web; see http://www.cdrom.com/pub/png/ for PNG info.) For most
images it's pretty obvious which format to choose (see "[3] When should I use JPEG, and when should I stick
with GIF?"). JPEG's ability to trade off file size against image quality is especially helpful for trimming down-
load times of Web photos.
