Specify Size on Pictures

P

Pete

I'm told that to have text displayed in a browser before all images have
downloaded, ALL images in tables must have their Specify Size option turned
on.

Unfortunately, FP2000 seems to lose this setting unpredictably, and my
tables contain many small icons in addition to a few large images.
Continually going through each image manually and restoring this option
isn't practical.

What's the best way to deal with this?

TIA

Pete

By default, the images are automatically fixed.

Don't understand how you are stating the problem, what you are
asking/saying.

Are you talking about plain old layout tables?

Are you talking about table background images?

What do you mean by small icons in addition to large images?

Perhaps you could provide more detailed comments in addition to a published
URL of the page(s) in question.

Tom, sorry I wasn't clear enough about the issue.

Imagine a table with 1 row and 2 cols. The left cell contains text, and the
right cell contains a large JPG image (NOT a background image).

Because the JPG can take a while to download, I want my text to display
before this download is completed. I'm told that this can only be done if
ALL images in a table have their size specified, so that the browser can
size the table without the images.

To specify the image size in FP2000, I check the box at Picture Properties
Appearance tab > Specify size.

FP2000 unpredictably unchecks this box after I've checked it, and I can't
find any way to keep it checked.

Either I am or FP is doing something wrong.

The problem is magnified of course when the table contains many images. In
fact, it's driving me nuts!

What's going on here, and is there a solution?

Thanks for your interest.

Are you checking HTML View to see it the value is in the code, instead of just looking at the image
properties dialog?

Set the height and width values in HTML view for each image, then do not change any of the image
size properties.

Thanks for the help Thomas.

The H & W values ARE in the HTML file.

Shouldn't the Specify Size check box be a button? It takes an action, and
the action can't apparently be undone. The state of the check box is not
remembered, although it could be. Weird.

Anyway, problem solved...

FP unchecks the box because you are using the image default size
- but it will add the H/W attributes to the html by default
- the box remains checked only if you use sizes that are not the default image sizes
