[thelist] Graphic header sizes

[Bob Boisvert]

Hi aardvark,

I'm looking at a banner graphic and not the <h#>

Both of these are under 20K in file size, the smaller of the two (.jpg) is
just over 10K but I guess I'm looking at how the different browsers handle
the rendering of the graphic and how much information I can place on the
page without having to do much scrolling.  The .gif file is about double the
size (in px) of the .jpg taking up more space, so going to Netscape and it's
huge standard buttons, about 30% of the page is going to be the header
graphic.  But I don't want to go to small, at least not with this graphic
before the pattern and text in the pattern start to contrast each other to
much.

...
...file size?
...
...in my case, something that doesn't push the page, HTML includes,
...over 24k if possible...
...
...image size?
...
...in my case, something that still works at sub-640px widths, and
...only contains the necessary bits of an image that cannot be
...recreated with plain text, background colors, background images,
...and six pounds of putty...
...
...or by header, do you mean something as an <h#>... as opposed to
...a banner image?
...
...in my case, i don't use 'em, but if i had to, 8 colors, .gif, <1k...
...
...or by header do you mean the framing around a window?
...
...in my case, depends on the lumber, if it's a weight bearing wall,
...and whether or not i plan to fit my couch through it should i
...suddenly decide to sled down my fire escape...
