For <img> tags, are the width and height attributes necessary? Could they just
be omitted?

They are not required but I recommend their use.
Without this information in the HTML, the UA cannot account for the
viewport space needed for the image. As a result, it happens that if the
user is reading below the image, suddenly the UA discovers the dimensions
and the whole page jumps disconcertingly .
And it's important to be sure the values of height and width are the exact
pixel dimension of the image being used. Don't resize images in the
browser, it leads to either a heftier download than is needed (when HTML
reduces size) or a pixellated ugly image (when HTML increases size).

Thanks for the reply. On a related question, if you do provide width and height
attributes, does it matter whether you use <img> tag or CSS attributes?

If you provide the height and width in content, the CSS values are not
necessary. Remember that a page can be loaded with images and without CSS.
Whenever the image is part of the HTML, the height and width should be in
the HTML as well.

You should do it in the HTML. The height and width of an image are actual
attributes of the image, they're not presentational suggestions. And then
there's no need to do it in the CSS.

For purely decorative images, which correctly have empty 'alt' texts, they
should be omitted, though. Not all of these should or could be included
per CSS.

If an <IMG> specifies a WIDTH but not a HEIGHT, then height is internally
determined so as to maintain the image's aspect ratio.
Aspect ratio is also preserved if HEIGHT but not WIDTH is specified.
What is the value of an unspecified HEIGHT or WIDTH attribute. How do I
dynamically set the attribute to unspecified, after having previously used
the <IMG> with explicit HEIGHT and WIDTH attributes?

Hi. I have an apsx page with a Panel inside. The panel has his
properties Width and Height set to 590 and 390 respectively.
I call a function to make up an table inside this panel. That table
has 2 columns. The size of the first one has 2/3 of the panel.width
and the size of the second one has 1/3 of the panel.width.
The only way I got to calculate these values was:
private void MakeCentralTable(Panel panel)

After pulling an image from the data base and the Image.Height and

1) Is there a way to have these properties updated? or
2) How do I get the image height and width to store?
Thanks in advance.

Dear friends,
I'm dynamically creating a Hyperlink with spacer.gif as ImageURL that is an
1px transparent image only to determine link position, but as I create this
link dynamically I could not set image width. This problem makes my link
clickable only on its borders.
When viewing HTML source I could see that spacer.gif has no width and
height, so HTML shows only 1px x 1 px image.

Dear Experts,
It looks as if the HTML4 spec does not define a meaning for empty height
and width attributes in an IMG element. Moz seems to ignore them, while
IE7 sets the dimension to 1 pixel (or something like that).
I have a vague recollection that "" did have a defined meaning at some
point in the past, but maybe I am mis-remembering. Can anyone confirm?
I have encountered this in some third-party PHP code that I'm using on

Hi everyone,
I've got a question about what makes the "img" element's width/height
attributes valid HTML or XHTML.
First of all, this is a rather theoretical question, but digging through
the W3C HTML 4.01 standard and this group's archive didn't give me a
satisfactory answer, so here we go:
Is <img src="img.png" alt="" width="100px" height="100px"really valid?

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
