Del:

I seldom add height and width values to html img tag attributes in 
any of my work. Instead, I add width and height values (usually in 
em's) in css and haven't experience any problems with any browsers 
that I am aware. That way, I can also make the images enlarge/reduce 
with zoom levels, like so:

http://php1.net/b/speech/

If you zoom that page, the image and page size resizes accordingly.

Off-topic, the speech thing isn't too shabby either (or so I think).

Cheers,

tedd
