Flightcrew : is px for the height/width forbidden ?

NicolasR · 02-10-2011, 11:28 AM

Hi !

I’m often using pixel (px) for the length and width of my images.

But Flightcrew doesn’t seem to like it… Here is what it says :

Quote:

value '200px' does not match regular expression facet '[-+]?(\d+|\d+(\.\d+)?%)'

Do you know what it means ? Is px forbidden in the ePub specification ?

Thank you very much for the answer.

Do you mean you use "px" values for the "width" and "height" attributes in the HTML "img" tag? E.g.:

Code:

<img src="my_picture.jpg" alt="my picture" height="200px" width="100px" />

If that's what you're using, it's not an EPUB issue - it's an HTML validity issue. The "height" and "width" attributes in an "img" tag should have simple numerical values - either the number of pixels, or a percentage value. So instead of:

Code:

height="200px"

you should just have:

Code:

height="200"

Hi, Donna !

That is what I was meaning, you are right !

And thank you very much for the explanation, I understand now !

Strangely, epubcheck does validate, when the height or width in the <img> tag are in px…
