Re: Informing the browser of the expected size of the image

IIya,

The trick with images is to put them in a Div and the text underneath that
way the browser can place the text underneath and deposit the image into a
"container" above.

If you put a Null image preceding the real image with Height of 100% and
Width of 0 and use vertical align on both images you will get vertical
alignment.

I cheat I have VB code that collects and stores the image attributes.
