Is Table Width Required for Table that Holds Image?

I am dynamically generating pages from images on the server and place each
image into a single cell table (which I use to create a border around the
image)
The problem is that if I do not specify a table width, sometimes the table
will collapse over image, cutting off the right side of the image. This
means that for each image I need to instance an "Image" class and read its
width property, which is a huge preformance killer. Has anyone else
encountered this issue that has found a solution that does not require
setting the table width...

Thanks

Hi,
you don't really need a table just to add a border, you can do
<style type="text/css">
img{
border: 2px solid black;
}
</style>
will give all your images a 2 pixel black border

Your are using server controls for the image?

if so, you can set the border properties of the image on the server
control directly. you don't need to use a table to set the border.

Am I misunderstanding the CSS specifications or is Firefox (version 1.0.6) (and Opera) doing the wrong thing? It appears that Firefox 1.0.6 includes the border in width calculations for tables but not in height calculations. Oh, and Opera version 8.02 does the same thing. |<-->| |<-->| <------ border |<------------>| <------ table contents

I have a table that has 3 image slices. The middle slice changes size based on size of browser window. This works great. My client wants the date to show over the image on the right. So what I did was cut off the top part of the image (which is just a solid color and I can handle by making the background-color of the cell this color). I then use a asp line to display the date, which also works. Here is the original table setup for...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
