Sounds like the user used an image editor. After that I'm not sure
what they did.
In my experience resizing images with Composer, which admittedly is
limited to outgoing emails, width or height or both can be modified as I
please, but if I specify a percentage for one and delete the other,
Composer restores the original value in pixels for the "deleted"
parameter. Thus, I can't specify
<img src="1indy.jpg" height="25%">
because Composer substitutes
<img src="1indy.jpg" height="25%" width="660px">
I've tried checking the "Constrain" box, but it won't toggle (clicks
have no effect), so I can't say what difference it would make.
One more reason to learn how to write HTML instead of relying on tools
which screw with the code imperfectly.
There is NO WYSIWYG HTML editor that creates code that will validate all
of the time. None.
If you're trying to create Web pages, learn HTML and CSS.
And stop complaining that imperfect WYSIWYG tools like Composer don't
work properly: They never will.
Nice rant. Plenty of people wrote plenty of websites with Composer that
validated just fine. Me included. I agree that knowing at least basic
HTML and CSS is important for getting the most out of these tools, but
there's no reason that one shouldn't complain about bugs that have
existed for years and will likely never be fixed.
Or, just use one of these tools, toss your Web page up on the 'net and
don't come back here hollering about people complaining that your site
fails in some way. It's because you just don't get it.
Nice 'tude, bro. I bet you're loads of fun at parties.
Composer (and all of its ancestors) was an interesting idea that never
worked and, I doubt, ever will.
Composer and its ilk worked well enough for basic Web 1.0 development
and began stumbling once anything beyond basic stuff started happening.
It has its share of bugs, yes, but loads of money has been spent on the
'interesting idea' of WYSIWYG HTML editors. For decades. That Composer
has problems is not proof that WYSIWYG editors are all doomed to fail.
That's just not a logical conclusion.
Links to remember if your are writing Web pages/sites:
http://validator.w3.org/
http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/
Definitely worth remembering.
