How does the <img> tag work?

Question

I added an image that was in my computer to the folder i created where my html text and page is saved. I want to add the image and i added this <img src="C:\users\katherine\desktop\html\cameralens.jpg"/>
It's not working and I don't understand why! :(
Someone please help! Thanks

Answer 1

Try <img src="file:///C:\users\katherine\desktop\html\cameralens.jpg"/>
If the image is in the same directory as the html then this should work too - <img src="cameralens.jpg"/>

Answer 2

used to insert image

Answer 3

Cause browser aren't allowed to access local file system (for security purposes)

Answer 4

since your image is in same folder of code paste it in desktop and then use the relative path of that image it might work
