[thelist] controlling image height in Safari

[Will]

I'm assuming you can't just change the HTML attribute to 30. Can you
try to add a (gasp) !important to your height declaration and see if
that overrides the html attribute?

if that doesn't work, you might have to resort to JS to change the
attribute directly.
