Rei, I saw your message elsewhere.
I consulted the HTML help page, didn't have any info.
Looked at one of Percy's photo postings, with width and hight attributes - still unclear on methodology. How do you choose the width and hight numbers?
Rei, could you post a couple of linked photos? One unscaled, and the same one with scale attributes?
Thanks in advance,
Adminnemooseus

Best idea is to find the actual image file on your hard drive or a page where you're viewing it (say in a preview), right-click and go to Properties, and it will show you the dimensions. Then do the math to scale them both down by the same factor. I assume you have the HTML code part figured out.
Alternately, you could put the pic into an image editing program (something as simple as MS Paint will do this...) and scale it down, saving it with a new name to preserve the original.

Moose, easiest way to do it is with percentages...it makes pic a % of page width. ...width="60%". I rescaled the pic on the catfish thread, but it did nothing for the script. When you resize a pic on a web page it doesn't change the actual file size. I think that is my problem. I had tried saving a pic to my comp and resizing it in a photo editing program, but I am having problems with my web server right now so that's not working.

For the record, the photo is the second one, at http://EvC Forum: Walking Catfish -->EvC Forum: Walking Catfish
The page width was fine, for me, after the Queens rescaling to 60% width. I bumped the width up to 80% - Page width still fine for me.

Maybe it's just my lousy monitor problems....I still get a pic that fits within page width, but script runs at the same width as before rescaling of pic.
(&&*%($#*$&%*$&* monitor)
Oh well, if it works for everyone else, I guess that's all that matters.

Re: Another Great Dyke Joke
Ah, the Great Dyke, one of my favorite intrusions.
Anyways, I easily and quickly scaled another image to avatar size by using MS Paint and scaling using percentages. You just have to make sure and choose "select all" before re-scaling.
