Even tough I in dreamweaver set a table with to 500px it will not stick to that, when E.G. pictures are but there or some of my files are included there...

How can i lock the table with, so that it will not change no matter how large a image is put there, and no matter what file is included ?

Have seen website where large images by them self adjust to the with of a table

baiscally i think all you have to do is specify the image width and then it should be ok

You cant fix the table width if the content grows the table will grow Its the natural behavior of tables. You can fix the width of images etc to settle it down.

I have tryed to set the image with to max 500 in dreamweaver, but then my pictures look very strange..... is there a way to adjust the HIGHT so it automaticly changes depending on the WITH ?

Hope someone can paste the HTML here

Resize your images to the maximum dimensions for you page. If you still want to show the bigger images just link to them from the smaller image.

Should it not be possible without resizeing the file ?.... i have seen websites where larege images are fit into some sort of box/frame/whatever... and then if you hold your mouse-marker over the image in explorer you see a magnifying-glas and if you clik you see the image 100% size (it is not a link to another large image)


Hope someone can tell me how this is done...

Yes, but you can't do it with tables and HTML. What you've seen is scripting of one sort or another to do as you describe. Tables expand to fit the content within them, that is how tables are meant to be - you can't change it. You might want to look into something like this: Suckerfish HoverLightbox - Monday By Noon

Thanks for the tip ..... i think Webmaster-Talk.com Webmaster Forum - Web Design, Coding, SEO Forums use the same kind of thing.

Just downloaded the the file on the URL you submitted.... hope i get it to work

Don't know if you have used that or not, but do you think it is fairly easy to get something like that to work with a MySQL database & PHP ?

Have just put that thing on my website, but it uses a preset size, so that images get stretched and messed up if someone has taken a vertical shot with their camera.


.hoverbox .preview
{
border-color: #000;
width: 400px;
height: 300px;
}


Do you know if there is any way to set the with relativ to the height or the other way arround, so it is not messed up ?

not in HTML you can't. If you fix the size that is what it will be

HTML is not a scripting language. If you want to dynamically adjust images sizes and maintain aspect ratio it will have to be be done server side.

Do you know any script that can check the size of an image (size and with)..... if there is one, then i could just make two varibles and assign what ever value the php script find to the var.

PHP: Image Functions - Manual

well, now i don't really need that script since i did get my other image generation thing to work...... but i really like that script, so if someone adjusts it so it works with php and can keep image ratio - let me know about it !
