<IMG>

An <IMG> statement specifies an image that appears in formatted text. Not all phone models are capable of displaying images.

You can use the <IMG> statement within any formatted text:

In display text in choice, display, and entry cards
In choice items on a choice card (see Using images in choice entries)

You can also use images as softkey labels by specifying either the SRC or ICON options within an <ACTION> statement. For more information, see Using images as softkey labels.

Statement	Description
`<IMG`	Beginning of the image header.
`ALT=alt_text`	Text to display if the image can't be displayed (if the phone does not support images or the image content can't be found).
`SRC=image_url`	The URL of the image to display. If you specify a valid name for the `ICON` option, the device ignores this option.
`ICON=icon_name`	The name of a local image to display. If the UP.Browser cannot find the image in ROM, it retrieves it from the UP.Link server. See Figure 2-14 for a list of the icon names you can specify for this option.
`>`

Example

The following HDML deck generates the display shown in Figure 2-9:

<HDML VERSION=3.0> <DISPLAY> Here's a smiley <BR> <IMG ICON="smileyface" ALT=":-)" > </DISPLAY> </HDML>
