|       Why on earth would you place an image
|         between <h1></h1> tags???
'--------------------------

Because that image is being a heading.

<H1><IMG SRC="./images/headings/asciiart.gif" ALT="ASCII Art"></H1>

That image would of course have some kind of stylistically written word
'ASCII Art'.
