Is anyone else as appalled as I am at the use of "pixels" as the spatial unit in the Netscape IMG WIDTH and HEIGHT tags? I am writing a browser which goes directly from HTML to Postscript, and what am I supposed to do with a request to make an image "50" wide? 50 what? I guess everyone "knows" that a pixel is 1/75 inch, right? Or is is 0.01"? Why didn't they use some device-independent unit, and is it too late to correct this really shameful situation?? Henry
