annoying browsers

celticdragonflystupid mucking alternate browser...
still waiting to get computer help. In the meantime I seem to be able to avoid the worst disasters by not touching IE.
Darn it, I need to get the fluted banister sock pattern pages written and up. Main info and gallery picture page, and subsidiary pages for the four variants of the pattern.
I'm used to working with IE. I used to work with Netscape, used to prefer it, although I checked both browsers for readability. Then I gave up with Netscape, because the newer versions would not properly recognize height restrictions when displaying an image. I'd restrict the image size, either by absolute pixel height or by percentage, but Netscape would show the whole bluidy thing. And yes, I could go reduce my image in size, but I don't want to do that, because then I end up with a picture with less resolution and then if I want a print of the thing it's awful. So I gave up on Netscape in disgust.
But at the moment it's all I can use. Bleagh. Anybody know a way to make Netscape reduce the size of an image in html? In IE it reads fine if I use [img src="urlofimage" height="60%"] for example.

You need to use <img src="urlofimage" height="heightpixels" width="widthpixels">

Date: 2004-06-04 10:04 am (UTC)I suspect my grief would be giving up my google toolbar. Like the google toolbar, yes I do, I do, my precious. But yes, I'm finding over the last few days that large chunks of my problems seem to be connected to IE. (I'm sure it is no coincidence how that would sound pronounced. IEEEE!)
Now if somebody can just point me at a good mail/notes/calendar program that does the things I like from Outlook *and can suck up all my old mail and calendar stuff from outlook* and I'd convert in a second.
