If you place a value in the border=x area, you WILL get a "border" around the perimeter of the image regardless of where you place the image . Whether it's within a table or not is irrelevant, you'll still have a border around the perimeter of the image. Larger # = larger border. Try it.
"Faster" downloads or "quicker" downloads......I don't see any difference between that description. Both refer the speed at which a webpage displays itself and loads. Using image size tags w/alt text tags is usually only noticeable during high traffic times, server slowdowns, large webpages, etc. If you don't use them and experience any of these slow instances, it will slow the loading of a webpage down even more as it's trying to get the image info from the server. Using them is just a good practice to get into. A value of 5 or so for hspace and vspace is pretty good for the vast majority of images. Using a figure of about 5 will keep any text from coming in contact with the image and make it appear more 'aesthetically pleasing'. If there is no text that's going to be anywhere around the image, then they are pretty much irrelevant & don't matter...(unless of course one uses a figure of 100 or so, then there is going to be a huge blank area around the image). The very first time I ever saw hspace and vspace before I even knew what HTML code was, I knew what they meant, if you use your head they are easy to figure out and are self-explanatory, at least for me they were. I was giving his intelligence the benefit of a doubt. (I know about its and it's, a typo can be corrected using the inappropriate 'correct' spelling of a word that a spell checker gives one as options if one is too quick to choose 'change'). -Clint God Bless Us All Clint Hamilton, Owner http://OrpheusComputing.com � ----- Original Message ----- From: "Hugh Vandervoort" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> As I pointed out, there are many ways to do this. From: http://freespace.virgin.net/sizzling.jalfrezi/iniframe.htm "It is very good idea to specify the width and height for every image you use, as browsers can then display text before the images have loaded, giving the effect of quicker downloads." The "effect" of quicker downloads is not the same as "faster". I can't see the difference, even with my dial-up connection. I left this tag out to avoid confusion. I don't understand your comment about the border tag, since I said it's not needed unless he's using a table. Why give him hspace and vspace without explaining what they mean? In short, I suspect you may have confused the poor guy even further. There's no real substitute for learning the code, except having someone do it for you, which is why I gave the tutorial links. And my pet peeve: "It's" means "It is", or "It has". The apostrophe is incorrect for the possesive case.(... border around it's perimeter..." ************************************************************* *************** *************** I posted yesterday what he needed. FYI, you should have a height and width tag in there too so the images will load faster. <A href="faux2.html"><IMG src="tablebathumb.jpg" alt="Before and after" border="0"></A> Should be: <A href="/tablebat.jpg"><IMG src="tablebathumb.jpg" alt="Before and after" width=xx height=xx border="0"></A> The border tag will indeed give an image a border around it's perimeter even when it's not within a table. :-) Since he doesn't know HTML, putting the larger image on a separate new HTML page would just make things more difficult for him rather than to just have a non HTML browser window open with only the image and no source code to worry about. -Clint ============= PCWorks Mailing List ================= Don't see your post?
