I don't think images are required to have a height and width but it is best practice to do so. Have you had to wait for a page then suddenly have it "pop" or had the page shift around when the images finished loading? That's because the browser either refused to guess the size of the images until they were downloaded in the first case or because it guessed wrong in the second.
Specifying the height and width allows the browser to reserve the proper amount of space in the page layout so it will continue to load and display the text without having to wait for the images. Images do require an alt attribute and a title attribute is another nice thing to have since newer browsers such as Mozilla and Opera will not display the alt attribute on mouseover if the image loads but will display the title attribute. This also gives you another shot at the search engines. Cheryl D.

My page validated without them, but I will definitely add the px to all image code. Do you know where I can find out that images require units of measures now. I know I can search through W3C, but am hoping that you have a particular page in mind. If not, I can find it. I found out what the p tag error was and fixed it. It doesn't want anything like this: <p style="text-align:justify">, so I made 3 classes for left, center, and right. ____ • The WDVL Discussion List from WDVL.COM • ____ To Join wdvltalk, Send An Email To: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Send Your Posts To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To set a personal password send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the words: "set WDVLTALK pw=yourpassword" in the body of the email.
