FP1: Modified Image Distorted when Viewed in Browser

ID: Q151568


The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft FrontPage for Windows 1.1


SYMPTOMS

When you modify or replace an image associated with a web page, the image may appear to be distorted when you view the page in a browser.


CAUSE

When an image is inserted into a web page, the dimensions of the image are stored within the <IMG> tag in the HTML code.

If the dimensions of the original image change, the image will be forced to meet the dimensions noted in the tag. This may cause undesirable results when you view the image.


WORKAROUND

To work around this problem, reopen the page in FrontPage Editor and save it to the web. This action will update the height and width attributes associated with the <IMG> tag.


STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. This problem was corrected in Microsoft FrontPage 97 for Windows with Bonus Pack.


MORE INFORMATION

When you use specific dimensions with the <IMG> tag, the page is displayed faster because the browser reserves the appropriate amount of space on the screen for loading the image.
