1993年，Marc Andreessen写了一封很重要的邮件：

I’d like to propose a new, optional HTML tag:

 

IMG

 

Required argument is SRC=”url”.

 

This names a bitmap or pixmap file for the browser to attempt to pull
over the network and interpret as an image, to be embedded in the text
at the point of the tag’s occurrence.

An example is:

<IMG SRC=”file://foobar.com/foo/bar/blargh.xbm“>

 

现在看起来多正常呀，但是这个IMG标签成就了Netscape的成功，也成就了现代的互联网。
