This code snippet represents the HTML for a responsive image using the ⁣ element. Let’s break it ⁤down:

1. and

This is a hack to ‍try⁤ and‍ make the ⁤ ⁢ element work in‍ older versions of Internet Explorer (specifically⁣ IE9). IE9 doesn’t fully support , so this attempts ⁣to provide ⁢a fallback by wrapping the element ⁣inside a hidden tag. The conditional comment ensures the closing tag is onyl rendered ⁢in IE9. This is a legacy technique and is less relevant today as IE9⁤ is⁣ rarely used.

The‍ element is the core of the responsive image setup. It allows you to ⁣provide⁤ multiple image sources,and the browser will choose the most ⁤appropriate one based on factors like screen size,resolution,and image format support.

3. Elements

⁣ ⁣Each element ⁤defines a potential ‍image source.
media Attribute: This is the key to responsiveness. It specifies the media conditions under which the browser should use this source.
media="(-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2) and (min-resolution: 120dpi)": This targets devices with high pixel density ⁢(like Retina⁤ displays). -webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2 is ⁣for older WebKit-based browsers (Safari, Chrome) and min-resolution: 120dpi is a more standard way to detect high-resolution displays.
‍The second ‍ ‍element ⁢has no media attribute,⁣ meaning it’s ⁣the default source if none of the other media queries match. data-srcset Attribute: This attribute contains a⁢ comma-separated list of image URLs⁣ along with⁤ their widths (e.g., https://mf.b37mrtl.ru/files/2025.09/xxs/68b6eb8e2030276676779afe.jpg 560w). the browser uses this information to choose the best image size for the current viewport.
srcset Attribute: This attribute contains a very small, placeholder PNG image encoded as a base64 string.This is used as⁤ a fallback ⁢if the browser doesn’t support or data-srcset. It’s a ⁢tiny image to avoid⁢ layout shifts while the real image loads.
