Hello Darren,
You can size an image in html with the following:
<img src="images/test.jpg" alt="test" name="test image" id="testimage"
height="250" width="250">
where width and height specify the size in pixels.
If you want to preserve the aspect ratio of the source image (i.e. the
width/height), you can specify either just the width or the height and
the
image will be scaled preserving the aspect ratio of the source image.
This will prevent stretching of the image. For example:
<img src="images/test.jpg" alt="test" name="test image" id="testimage"
width="250">
Resizing "in the browser" via height/width tags requires the full image
to be downloaded and also risks creating quality problems. If you plan
on having really large images (e.g. 1MB) you can preprocess the images
manually with a product like Paint or PhotoShop. If you intend to
download a large number of images, you might want to consider using a
freeware product like ImageMagick to preprocess the images at a server.
I hope this helps.
Regards,
Ralph
