If the dimensions set are the same as the dimensions of the image itself, it makes no difference in rendering result whether you specify the width and height in HTML or in CSS. However, setting the dimensions may speed up rendering of the page, since the browser can reserve space for the image before having got the image data, so it continue formatting the page with no need for reformatting later. If you set the dimensions in HTML, they should be pure numbers, e.g. width="200" height="295" (though browsers generally accept the syntactically incorrect form as well, ignoring everything after the numbers). On the other hand, if you set them in CSS, the unit (px) is required, e.g. style="width: 200px; height: 295px". -- Jukka "Yucca" Korpela, http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/ ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d IE7 information -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=IE7 List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
