The Coach

I am lost here too Lee, because later you wrote:
It's important that you got the size right Lee and I mean in the HTML code.
Let's look at this example:

<img src="../leeswebsite.com/images/pa090020t.gif" width="75" height="56">

Notice parameters width and height? They have to be exactly the same as the size of the image in Photoshop, otherwise you get pixelated images,when you try to replace a large image with a smaller using the same size parameters in HTML.

Lee

It's not my website, Lily. I just wanted to post a small image on the forums I participate in.


Thanks, MsOZ. I haven't tried that but will give it a shot when I finish this entry.


I guess I wasn't as clear as I thought in that first post. I downloaded a cut little image that I wanted to use in my posts at some forums I frequent. When I used the IMG (image) key and entered the URL of the image it posted but MUCH larger (and very pixelated) than the original. My original image is about the size of the emoticons on this forum. I thought it would be easy to just resize the image but no matter what I do it comes out the same - about three times as large and pixelated.

The Coach

Save the image under a different name Lee, that should solve it.

Lee, you need to change your file name . Make it 20x20px same image and just give it a new name ( if you do not want to give up the name, just add number 1..) and post again. That should do it. Let us know! [righton]

Lee

Thanks Joe and Lily. That did it. [righton] . . . Just for my own education, why did that work?

The Coach

The old file was cached, the cache assumed it was the same file by looking at the file name and used the old size settings in HTML.

Lee

Thanks, Joe. [righton]

Hercules

You are welcome Lee.
JoeD already answer your question , why it is happening.

And sometimes you need to press View> Refresh button that a new file show up.

Lee

Thanks, lily. You're a dear.
