I was cruising some frog dissection pages and came across a page that loads a pic that will adjust to the browser screen size. It's done in Adobe Page Mill 2.0 Mac and I'm assuming that the naturalsizeflag tag is what does the trick. I haven't seen this tag - does anybody know where I can get some further info (does it work in tables, for example)?

Adobe is to blame for this one.[nbsp][nbsp]PageMill and SiteMill to be specific.[nbsp][nbsp]The TAG has no HTML value whatsoever.[nbsp][nbsp]They do this to keep track of resized graphics.[nbsp][nbsp]Anytime you would resize a graphic with the editor it adds the tag.[nbsp][nbsp]

Leaving it or removing it wont make a difference on the end result outside of causing webmasters like yourself to scratch their heads when they see it ;)[nbsp][nbsp]

The tag that is causing the image to resize is the width=100%

Thanks, Deb. One last question - if the picture width is adjustable wouldn't the designer then want to make the height adjustable, too?

I think it all depends on the picture.[nbsp][nbsp]The FutureQuest logo, for example, is extremely picky.[nbsp][nbsp]If the height isn't proportioned correctly with the width it can become very ugly.[nbsp][nbsp]

Looking at the first head pic in the image on the site you noticed... his head gets stretched when I go full screen and is a bit more normal when I resize smaller.[nbsp][nbsp]They probably didn't go for the height for much the same reason.[nbsp][nbsp]If I resize the image height to fit in my screen things get &quot;squished&quot;.
