DaleDe,

My client will not allow me to put their cover artwork up on a forum — though I noted the dimensions of the png image that we are using for the cover image.

I also can't upload my cover.xhtml file to this forum: files ending in .xhtml are not allowed, it seems.

The image is 782 × 997 pixels.

And here is the code itself for a_cover.xhtml:

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en">
<head>
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="application/xhtml+xml; charset=utf-8" /> 
    <meta name="cover" content="cover-image"/>    
    <title>My title</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" type="text/css" />
</head>
<body>
<div>
    <img id="a_coverimg" src="images/a_cover.png" alt="My Cover" style="max-width: 100%;" />
</div>
</body>
</html>

I hope this clears up some of the confusion I am seeing regarding my cover.xhtml file and the cover image.

Again: I am not allowed to upload this client's artwork to forums on the web.

Best I can do is noting the image size and file name so that you guys can see where it's declared in my manifest, and maybe point out an issue from there.
