"Squished" Slideshow pics with FP Glitch

I posted this on the general page and haven't been able to solve it.
Perhaps here.

I have a web site that has a slideshow which I used front page to edit from a
allwebco template. It has a slideshow and some of the pics are "squished" I
read that frontpage does this and there is a glitch. I tried to edit the size
of the pic in HTML but it keeps putting it back the same way. I tried the
following fix with same results.

Squished Slideshow Picture Problems

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gallery thumbnails, pop-ups and slideshow pictures can get squished if the
picture is a portrait type. Here are some suggestions for solving these
problems.

Squished slideshow pictures:
The slideshow originally included in all templates prevents pictures from
being squished by not having a width and height defined, however, certain
HTML editors will add code that can squish the pictures. To solve the
problem, open the slideshow.htm in Notepad or a text editor and do a search
for name="show". The code shown below is all that should be on that line in
the slideshow.htm. There should be no "length=" or "width=". If you are
getting squished pictures just make your code match.


<img src="gallery/Fgallery1-1.jpg" name="show"><br>


Fixing this with Frontpage:
Frontpage has a glitch that adds sizes to your slideshow.htm. Here are two
solutions. The first solution was sent in by one of our template users:

Solution #1. Choose "Insert" on the main toolbar, then choose "Web
Component", "Advanced Controls", "HTML". This allows you to insert HTML code
that FrontPage will ignore. It encloses the code as follows:

<!--webbot bot="HTMLMarkup" startspan --> INSERTED CODE TO IGNORE HERE
<!--webbot bot="HTMLMarkup" endspan -->

The work around doesn't work. Does anybody have a solution for this.

Since only some were being squished (not all) there would have to be an
issue with either the initial image being squished OR the product doing the
slideshow creation (AllWebCo template).

1- Try regenerating the slideshow with a different image in place of one
that is being squished.
2- Check AllWebCo's support page or forum.

Rob,

It's not the pictures its the coding. For example when I check my html code
on the site that is on my desktop it reads
<img src="gallery/Fgallery1-1.jpg" name="show"><br>
|
after it uploads it reads <img src="gallery/Fgallery1-1.jpg" name="show"
width 500 height 375><br>

FP automatically puts the size in. If I upload in ftp with a different
program other than FP it works fine. Until I change something in FP then
bingo the size appears and the pictures are squished.

I understand what you're saying, but if that's true why are only a few
images being squished, and not all of them?

What was the url again, I've lost the original thread.

There are three solutions (though the third is not very useful):

1) Place the original image within a HTML markup webbot.
Insert->Web Component->Advanced->HTML and type in the image tag.
Ot in Code/HTML view, wrap the image tag in webbot comments like
<!--webbot bot="HTMLMarkup" startspan -->
<img src="images/cyan.gif" alt="">
<!--webbot bot="HTMLMarkup" endspan -->
With this method, FP will not check or change the code, but the image will
not be seen in Design/Normal view.

2) Resize all the images to the same size.

3) Replace the <img > tag with an <object tag. This does not appear to
be supported in IE6, but is OK in FireFox.
<object data="images/cyan.gif" type="image/gif"></object>

Ronx,

I'll give it a try. No way to just put the web bot over the whole slideshow
is there?

Thanks,

Glenn

Ronx,

OMG I finally figured it out. Thanks so very much. I didn't realize
exactly what you were saying. To put the webbot around the "image tag" thus
the WHOLE image tag not individual. I put the following in
<!--webbot bot="HTMLMarkup" startspan--><img src="gallery/Fgallery9-1.jpg"
name="show" ><!--webbot bot="HTMLMarkup" endspan--><br>

Leaving out the size and bingo it worked. The mistake I was making before
was to leave in the size. GIGO. Man sometimes the forest and the tree thing.

YOU ARE DA MAN!!!
