WIDTH and HEIGHT in <img> tags

Pablo · 06-01-2010, 09:22 AM

Maybe this was asked before, but I really can't find it:

In my source html file I have the following

Code:

<IMG style="WIDTH: 365px; HEIGHT: 47px" src="BdIm__2.png" border=0>

When I import with Sigil, I get:

Code:

img.sgc-4 {WIDTH: 365px; HEIGHT: 47px}

and

Code:

<img class="sgc-4" border="0" src="../Images/BdIm__2.png" />

The question is: Do I really need to include WIDTH and HEIGHT?
If I delete them, it seems to work Ok, and the resulting CSS is simpler.
And what about "border"?

I would recommend that you do not use absolute values for width and height. In some cases it can be interesting to use "width: 100%" if you want the image to be page large.

Border or not is a matter of taste.

Hi:

How does the width:100% parameter work when you covert epub to another format, i.e., .mobi; do you know if this functions in Kindle at all? This could save me a boatload of brain-damage if it does...
