Sorry Dave, but I strongly agree with Bram on this. ALWAYS give height
and width tags on your images and further, make sure that they're
actually correct. The browser won't resize the image if what it got when
it fetched the image matches the claimed size.
Even if the image has the size encode in the first 10 bytes, you DON'T
want the browser to wait till it fetches part of the image to make the
size decision that drives how the page is laid out.
Sorry to come down so hard but this is my number one beef with pages.
Even some of my own where I was too lazy to do it...
