Only with those browsers that use the width and height to actually resize the image. The original intent was simply to allocate space in the page for the image so the rest of the page could be rendered around it. Some browsers chose to implement the *may* resize the image to fill the box, and others didn't. -- Greg Marr gregm@alum.wpi.edu "We thought you were dead."
