Message:: [QUOTE="jamesicus, post: 2840869, member: 14873"]Are you thinking of the image element delineated by the width and height attributes? They certainly can be integrated into the page source code (I sometimes do that). Alternatively the parameters can be defined in a CSS style sheet and linked to the HTML document (because they are presentational) -- the trouble with that is that knowledgeable users can turn off style sheets and the effect is lost. Of course, users can also turn off images in their graphical Browsers (and display alternate image text instead) in effect rendering the page as a visual screen reader. The bottom line: is all that really necessary for depicting images on a Forum such as ours?(Although the effort required by the author is actually very little). Do participants really care if actual coin size is illustrated along with posted images? (most know what the actual coin looks like?). One member posted elsewhere that most include textual coin size information along with their image postings as a matter of course. All this actually only comes into play if you copy and paste web page extracts into the Forum message reply window anyway (I do that using my own web pages). Just for FYI, following is the source code for a "shorty" web page I just made up depicting a coin image including actual size: <ol> <li><!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "<a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd" rel="nofollow">http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd</a>"></li> <li><html lang="en-us"></li> <li><head></li> <li><title></li> <li>Actual coin size demo</li> <li></title></li> <li><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"></li> <li><meta name="language" content="en-US"></li> <li><meta name="robots" content="noarchive"></li> <li><link rel="shortcut icon" href="/favicon.ico"></li> <li><link href="pagejustify.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"></li> <li></head></li> <li><body></li> <li><h1></li> <li>Actual coin size demo</li> <li></h1></li> <li><div id="box"></li> <li><div id="aligncontent"></li> <li></li> <li>Last updated: 30 August 2017</li> <li></li> <li><hr></li> <li></li> <li>RIC VI, Londinium, No. 6a, Diocletian as</li> <li>Augustus:<a name="lon6a1" id="lon6a1"></a></li> <li></li> <li></li> <li><img src="lon6ao1.jpg" alt="[Diocletian coin photo]"</li> <li>width="250" height="250"> <img src="lon6ar1.jpg" alt=</li> <li>"[Diocletian coin photo]" width="250" height="250"> </li> <li>IMP C DIOCLETIANVS PF</li> <li>AVG ................. <li>"inscr">GENIO POPV -- LI ROMANI</li> <li></li> <li></li> <li><img src="lon6ao1.jpg" alt="" width="110" height=</li> <li>"110"> </li> <li>actual size of coin </li> <li></li> <li><hr></li> <li></li> <li>.......... and so on.</li> <li></li> <li></div></li> <li></div></li> <li></body></li> <li></html></li> </ol><a href="http://jp29.org/tetactual.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://jp29.org/tetactual.htm" rel="nofollow">How the above HTML code renders in a typical graphical Browser</a>[/QUOTE]
