I did post recently about how to set text size in SM so other
browsers like Chrome "got it right". By trial and error I managed to
fiddle with sizes so this occurs. Thanks to those who commented, and
suggested I used other WYSIWYG composer programs. None worked
properly, and had bigger bothers than SM. Thanks anyway.Even Front
Page is more awkward to use than SM. AL I WANT IS SIMPLE PLEASE.
Sea Monkey always inserts images where I want them but it always
enlarges them and no amount of trying to control image size by
zooming out in "compose page" or "browse page" makes any difference.
In Firefox, images appear the same, too big. But in Chrome, images
are exactly as I meant them to be, same as I made the images when I
saved them from an image program. The relative text size is also
correct.
Composer inserts an image at its original size. To do anything else
would be bad practice. And you really shouldn't "resize" an image
using HTML.
My comment may be off topic, because this thread seems to be about a web
site, but I just want to comment that when composing e-mails in HTML, if
I include an I-phone image, for some reason it is always blown up in
size and I've never understood why. I don't mess with anything related
to pictures/images because I don't even have a camera, and just forward
other people's pictures occasionally. [My font size has been increased
to 16, but nothing else.] Would love to stop this if anyone has any
suggestions.
That's the size it's always been. The iphone silently scales it to fit;
SeaMonkey will do so if you click it in a web page or instruct SM to do
so in composition.
To scale it during composition, choose the "Dimensions" tab when
inserting it, or do Format | Image properties to return to that same
dialog. Note that if you use the Advanced Edit dialog to specify one or
the other of height and width but not both, only that parameter will
change -- the image won't retain its original aspect ratio, so you'll
get a distortion of the shape. So for example, if you specify width =
25% (of the visitor's window size), the height will remain unchanged.
Scaling an inmage via HTML is horrid practice. The image file still
needs to be downloaded in its full size, wasting bandwidth.
The proper practice is to use an image program to re-size the original
to an appropriate Web size.
For instance, an original image of 2592 x 1944 and 1.24 Mb can be
reduced to something like 800 x 500 and 118 Kb. A much more manageable
Web scenario.
If you use the HTML of:
<img src="pic.jpg style="width: 800px; height: 500px;" alt="bob">
and pic.jpg is actually 2592 x 1944 and 1.24 Mb, that is what the server
sends. Re-scale it using something like IrfanView. It's free.
Some people are still on slower connections with data caps. I'm not but
that doesn't mean I ignore that fact for people who visit my sites.
I scale my photos/images accordingly.
