[AccessD] OT: photo size on web site

Hello John,

Wow, maybe I can finally do a little something for you after all the
help you've given me over the past few years.

In the HTML, you can specify the height and width of the image in
pixels, like

<img src="imagename.jpg" width="200" height="150" alt="po-up text here" border="0">

Now, oftentimes the width and height are just the actual width and
height of the image, which is efficient because it lets the browser
correctly format the page before it downloads the images. But if the
image is larger, by specifying the width and height the image should
be scaled down to the specified size for display.

Thumbnails are just small versions of the image that are set up as
links, usually to the full-size image. If the images are nearly as
small as the thumbnails you want to use, you can use the re-sizing
trick to make the thumbnails with little loss of efficiency. If the
full-sized images are large, a better way is to use a graphics program
to resample the images down to the size you want for thumbnails and
save them as separate thumbnail files.

You can see examples by taking a look at the source at
http://webpages.charter.net/chizotz/zootrip/zootrip.html which is
pictures from a trip to the zoo I took with my ladyfriend a few weeks
ago. I put the images up on the web for her to dl, thumbnails with
links to the full-sized images. Yeah, the one picture is of me :)

Hope this helps in some small way, and thanks for all the help you've
given me.

Ron
