html for a picture is not visible on all browsers, I'm trying to place html for photos on my site but the re-sizing c Options

[astemkovsky]

Hello,

Please forgive my ignorance I do not know much about programming or HTML. I have a site where I'm trying to place html for a photograph. see below

<img src="http://i685.photobucket.com/albums/vv211/eschaff3/lakers.jpg" border="0" alt="Lakers Pictures, Images and Photos" width = “200” height = “130”/></a>

The photo is large and I wrote language to re-size it. It works fine with MOZILLA FIREFOX but the picture does not appear at all on EXPLORER .

Also it appears in its original size on GOOGLE CHROME for some reason Google does not recognize the re-size language.

If any one knows what code to add to html above to make it universal on all browsers I would appreciate it.


Thanks very much for the help.

The right way to do it is to create a new image that is the size you want, and to use it. In general, you should avoid using HTML attributes to resize images.

And if you do you shouldn't use curly quotes. If you write your HTML in Word, don't. Use a plain text editor such as Notepad.

I doubt that would stop IE though. I can see the image fine when I load it directly, so there's nothing wrong with the image itself. Please post the URL to the page. There may be something else wrong with the real markup.

I appreciate your time, thank you.

But how do I create a new image? I'm not a programmer and this is all very new to me, I'm not quite sure how to do many of the things programmers and designers talk about.

Thanks again

Uhm, the URL goes to a photobucket page with another image.

You open the image in an image editor and find a command called Resize or similar and type in for example the width you want and tell the editor to keep the proportions.

IrfanView is a nice small and free image viewer, not a full featured editor, but it happens to be very good at resizing. So if you don't have an editor already, give Irfan a go.

Thanks much,

I'd like to explain what I need, I'm not being very clear and I apologize.

What I did was copy and paste the html for this picture into a page on the forum I run and i added the resize html code to it to give the desired proportions.

The problem is that the image does not appear on Internet Explorer at all and appears in its original PHOTOBUCKET SIZE on Google Chrome.

What I am trying to find out is how to make it appear the same size on all browsers and have show up on Explorer.

I hope I'm being clear.

Using some kind of BB code like this forum uses or with real HTML? BBCode usually don't use width and height, and if the forum allows HTML it isn't certain it allows all attributes of an element even if it allows the element itself.

The curly quotes are more likely to be a problem on a forum than on a normal web page though, since the forum program will have to process them and is more likely to choke on them than a forgiving web browser.

You still should resize the image properly instead of doing it with HTML.
