Hello everyone,

I'm sorry to bother with such a stupid issue but I couldn't find a way to
explain (first to myself and then to my boss) why if I don't put the height
and width attribute to any image of my page IE doesn't show it

I'm always using CSS to style the page, ASP or PHP.
I know the images are shown in the case it is a plain html file without any
style in it.

I know defining height and width is a good practise and makes your code
valid.

I also know a lot of reasons why it is needed (browser rendering,
accessibility,  browsing,  etc...)

But I simply cannot explain why IE doesn't show them!!

I hope some of you could help me :)

thanks a lot!

Kiara

It is not a stupid question and I do not know the specific answer other than to 
say it is IE. Depending on the particular situation the physical 
dimension may be necessary to give IE layout [1].

There are situations were even when dimension is provided in the markup, IE 
will require dimension in the CSS as well (and sometimes gentle persuasion with 
!important is necessary).
