Hi, I thought that the default HTML code was to set the width and height information in pixels? I though the original question about resizing images was about taking a graphic, perhaps from a camera roll image, and then making this smaller for web use. I'll just point out that my instructions for using the "Adjust size…" option in Preview's "Tools" menu can also help you with this. For example, if I wanted to scale down an image for a web page by 50%, I'd display it in Preview and use the "Adjust size…" option. I'd change the pop up button in the menu from "pixels" to "percent", then navigate left to one of the text boxes for width or height and type in "50" in place of "100". Then I'd navigate to the pop up and change it back to "pixels" and read off the height and width. In your example I'd modify the HTML code accordingly. For example, if the width were 800 and the height were 379, I'd insert those values into the code: <img src="picture.jpg" alt="Felix using podcasting equipment" width="800" height="379"> In general, scaling also depends on the resolution of the image (which you can also find out in the "Adjust size…" option).
I don't have any difficulty doing this as coding. You might also try using pico or macvim in Terminal to edit the HTML file. Or Travis may have some other suggestions. HTH.
