My workflow went like this.

Had an existing document created in Indesign. I then took that file and made all the images anchored objects so they would come in in place. I then created the tags and links for the index page. I then export from Indesign to Epub. At this point I open it in Sigil and begin to edit the css and the xhtml to further suit my needs by adding borders, bolds, etc. I then add some pictures that were in the indesign file but I had go back and change something about them so then I exported them for dreamweaver. At that point I then add that image into Sigil. However, I do not believe the file in question was one of those files. I have validated with Sigil the only things it found were files in my content.opf file that were no longer being used. So, I have since deleted those files and tried to validate again at epubconversion.com and I am getting the same errors. Sigil tells me "No problems found!" I cant use epub check online because my file is 10.5mb. Any ideas where I am going wrong here?

Also while I have everyone here I am also having a problem getting my images to scale. I have my images inside a div that is set at width:100%; I then have my images set at 100% however, the images get no larger then the actual file. This happens in calibre on mac and on Ipad using Ibooks. However, on Adobe Digital Editions on the Mac the images scale. Where am I going wrong on that one?

Thank You. If you need to see any code let me know what you need to see and I will send it your way.

ps. The cases on the filenames are correct. Will it be a problem to leave the reference to the index file the way it is? It works everywhere I have tested it.
