Image clipped
I am writing an image heavy book optimised for the iPad in landscape mode.
The right border of the images are clipped (in both landscape and portrait mode).
Images originally 1200 pixels wide, tried reducing to 1150…didn't work. Tried max-width:95% in html….didn't work.
Any ideas?
Thanks

You might try max-width in pixels instead of percentage, I know nothing about iPad and the way of the Apple, this might be useless advice.

If you optimize for ipad, I hope you are doing it for family and friends. The apple share of the book market is pretty small.

Why "max-width", not just "width"?
In HTML isn't it width="100%" rather than width:100% ?

<div><img alt="cover_1" src="../Images/cover_1.jpg" width="100%"/></div>

Try using the css properties "background-size: content" or "background-size: cover".

For example:

Code:
<div><img style="background-size: content" alt="cover_1" src="../Images/cover_1.jpg" /></div>
or

Code:
<div><img style="background-size: cover" alt="cover_1" src="../Images/cover_1.jpg" /></div>
First try the first alternative (style="background-size: content").

Rubén

I use a <div> if only because mine are usually <div class="image"> where "image" is defined to knock out any indents, margins etc. If a picture is worth displaying on a 7" screen, it's worth all the available space.

They have to be inside something, having an <img> directly under <body> is invalid in XHTML (and therefore in ePub).
