2nd, don't specify the sizes of your images in <IMG> tags-- do this in

to your specifications, and hence has to go through a resizing
routine...and that adds time...

I'll have to disagree here.  Please, always specify the dimensions of the
images in the <IMG> tag.  That way, the browser knows how much space to
set aside for the image before the image is entirely loaded.  Otherwise,
nothing will show up until all the images have loaded, or the browser has
to readjust the positioning of everything else after the image loads.

I dunno about jpg, but iff and gif store the dimensions and colour-depth
(roughly what size buffer to allocate) in the first few bytes of the image -
I'd have guessed that most other formats were the same.

(...) But what if the html is completely loaded before the image even begins loading? Or what if you're browsing without images on (not that many people do that anymore...)? --Bram (25 years ago, 22-Mar-00, to lugnet.publish)
