hey ppl im in a lil bit of bother with some html...

now im using tables, and its for a project so it has to all be produced in notepad... no fancy html generators... or crap like that... n im a little stuck... with something i've discovered that i havent seen before...

im using size in % form so as to make my site change to work in different resolutions firstly.

now im placing a picture into a cell of a table. with the code below

Code:
<td>
<img width=25% alt="Holton Road Primary School" src="pictures/010_7A.jpg">
</td>


the image without the size reduction is huge, and extends the cell so as to need horizontal scrolling to c the second cell.

when i reduce the size with the width=25% the picture is a nice size and jsut what i want. but then i get the problem that the cell of the table doesnt shrink back to just whats needed around the newly re-sized picture, it remains large enough for it to be able to hold the complete picture.

please if anybody konws a way to solve this plz plz plz post it asap.

thanks alot.

TIA

create a copy of that image in a thumbnail view, more or less make something that would be about 75 x 75 pxs in size and have it link to the larger image in a new window or something like that.


so the thumbnail would be in the table and the actual image would open in a new window if the thumbnail is clicked. If you need an example, the internet has a bagillion pr0n sites out there using thumbnail views. lol

Try this,

<TABLE BORDER=5 CELLPADDING=0 CELLSPACING=5>
<TR>
<TD><A HREF="010_7A.jpg"><IMG SRC="pictures/010_7A.jpg"
ALT="[click: Holton Road Primary School]" WIDTH=75 HEIGHT=100 ></A></TD>
<TD>& &<A HREF="010_7A.jpg">Holton Road Primary School</A>& &</TD>
<TD NOBR>& &<I>Cool School & &</I></TD></TR>
<TR>


I've only used "%" Width=25% Height=1 specifying frames

IMO, it would be better accomplished Chan's way. Have the two pictures with one being either cropped or a scaled version of the original. That way the page will load faster.
