To display images in JavaScript, we have different approaches. In this article, we are going to learn how to display images in JavaScript.

Below are the approaches to display images in JavaScript:

Table of Content

  • Using CreateElement
  • Using InnerHTML

Approach 1: Using CreateElement

In an HTML document, the document.createElement() is a method used to create the HTML element. The element specified using elementName is created or an unknown HTML element is created if the specified elementName is not recognized. 

Syntax:

let element = document.createElement("elementName");

Example: In this example, we will display an image using CreateElement.

HTML 
<!DOCTYPE html> <html lang="en">  <head>     <meta charset="UTF-8">     <meta name="viewport"            content="width=device-width,                     initial-scale=1.0">     <title>Display Image</title> </head>  <body>       <script>         function show_image(src, width, height,alt) {             // Create a new image element             let img = document.createElement("img");              // Set the source, width,              // height, and alt attributes             img.src = src;             img.width = width;             img.height = height;             img.alt = alt;              // Append the image element             // to the body of the document             document.body.appendChild(img);         }          // Example usage:         show_image( "https://media.geeksforgeeks.org/wp-content/uploads/20231228172727/gfg-image.jpg",             300, 200,"gfg logo");     </script>  </body>  </html>

Output:

Approach 2: Using InnerHTML

The DOM innerHTML property is used to set or return the HTML content of an element.

Syntax:

It returns the innerHTML Property.

Object.innerHTML

Example: In this example, we are using InnerHTML.

HTML 
<!DOCTYPE html> <html lang="en">  <head>     <meta charset="UTF-8">     <meta name="viewport"            content="width=device-width,                     initial-scale=1.0">     <title>Display Image</title> </head>  <body>      <!-- Create a container element          where the image will be displayed -->     <div id="imageContainer"></div>      <script>         // You can dynamically set the innerHTML          // of a container to include an image element         const imageContainer = document         .getElementById("imageContainer");         imageContainer.innerHTML =            `<img src= "https://media.geeksforgeeks.org/wp-content/uploads/20231228172727/gfg-image.jpg">`;     </script>  </body>  </html>
