Html

[SÓC]

Can anyone give me a little helping hand with a HTML problem Im having (Remember Im just a law student waster so my knowledge of computers doesnt extend very far:)). It's just a little class website thing Im throwing together.

The main image here (http://www.esatclear.ie/~genesis). I have it set to show a larger version of the image when you click on it but the version it shows is too large. Is there any thing I can put into the <a> tag that would tell the browser what size and width to make the image or do I have to make a new HTML page and set the size of the photo using <img>?

I hope ye get what Im trying to ask, did do a great job of explaining myself.

Any help greatfully accepted. Cheers

p.s. before ye say it yes I know I look like a rabbit stuck in headlights in the photo!

Yeah .... me thinks it is a new page and link to it and resize it in the <img> tag. You cant do anythnig to ... well anything from the anchor tag except tell it where to open i.e. target="new" but that is about it for images. Tis all in the <img> !!

No, because you're linking directly to the image, which obviously has no HTML around it. Resizing an image as a "thumb" using the IMG tag is a bad practice though, it forces people to download the large image even though they might not want to. You should really be using two separate images; I've resized it to small and medium for you here:

Don't mind Scooty by the way, there's very little reason not to use frames on those webpages. You're hardly looking for top ranking on Google and I doubt you're looking to win any awards either. Keep at it.

So who's yerone in the picture anyway, he said innocently. :)
