Image size
      #66523 - Mon May 10 2004 12:48 PM

Hi All,

I have myown site where I use a lot of images and photos. I can set the size of them on my pages, but when I want to link the images/photos to other sites they turn out massive on other sites. Is it when I am creating the images I am not saving them in the correct size?

Thanks

It is always best to create the images the size you want them before you upload them to your website. If you have an image at say, 600x400 and you set it to display at 200x100 in your HTML, the image will still remain the same file size when its downloaded to the users browser. So it will still cause the user a longer wait and use more of your bandwidth.
setting the image size in your HTML to the correct dimensions of the image is good practice though, as it stops your page 'jumping around' as the code and images etc are downloaded.
