Hi,

I have someone who has viewed a web site of mine and he sees a picture with a squashed appearance. I cannot understand this as I can't see anything that I have done wrong, the picture appears fine on my machine and someone else also reports it looking fine on their machine.... ? It seems to me that it's the browser but he sees other pictures on the same site without a problem ?

I just hate mystery.

Any ideas ?

Thanks.

could you post a link to the site so we could see it?

If the actual image's dimentions are, let's say, 150px wide by 150px tall, and your code's <img> tag states [.width="150" .height="100"], the user's browser will by instruction 'squish' the actual size image into the contraint size dictated.

The fact that YOU don't see it on your computer? Hmm, -you might be seeing the computer's 'cache' image, not the actual image from the site. If you clear your browser's cache folder and then re-view the site and you see that the image is in fact 'squished', -that is why. :)
