This is the thread to show off your HTML skillz

I hate sizes on graphics.

Time was, if a page had javascript in it, you had to put heights and widths on every graphic of that page or the javascript would freak out. No longer. Now I don't see the point. If the image is larger than what you've resized it to, you're wasting bandwidth. If it's smaller, you're losing resolution. Plus if you replace that image with an image of slightly different dimensions, you can't just save over it, you have to go into the HTML and fix the height and width.

I'm not trying to rain on your parade, Big Loud Mountain Ape, it's just that this thread is one of the few times/places in the entire world where people actually might give a shit about such thoughts.

only useful if you don't think separate thumbnail gfx are useful

hello world!

check out my home page!!!!

yes about the resizing thing, bad idea. but the main need for specifying the image sizes in html is so that the browser can render the page leaving a big enough space for the yet-to-be-downloaded picture which means it doesn't need to reflow the entire thing when it finds out the image size. (i hate scrolling down the page to the bit i want only for the text i'm reading to creep down as images with unspecified sizes in the top part are downloaded and inserted)

<table border=1 width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" bgcolor="blue">

Can't that style sheet have something to do with the centred text as well? Here it's exactly above the 3rd cell (of the five, so it's in the middle of the page).
