Re: [WSG] no more width and height?

[David R]

I don't think the width="" or height="" attributes of the <object /> or 
<img /> elements will be depreciated any time soon, if not at all. 
Despite being related to presentation, they lean more towards the 
content. Certain media types have no specified dimensions, what about 
certain SWF files? They will remain optional attributes, imo, with their 
use at the discretion of the author of the page or of the developer of 
the plugin/applet.

Hi Ted
The width/height aren't a requirement in XHTML Transitional/Strict. I 
don't think this means the W3C don't want us to use them any more, just 
that you don't have to. I've heard a few people mention the page 
building thing before, but I think good image compressions and less 
mark-up will negate this suggested side effect. The only time I've came 
across problems is in MacIE, and that's only when using images 1px high; 
which isn't usualy a problem.
