I have a client who says graphics on her website appear to be "narrowed" sometimes.[nbsp][nbsp]The graphic is shown at the regular height, but it is scrunched down to what looks like maybe 50 pixels wide.[nbsp][nbsp]If she clicks the refresh button on her browser, the problem corrects itself and the graphic is displayed normally.

I have seen this once or twice before, but extremely rarely and I can't replicate it at will.[nbsp][nbsp]I suspect it may have something to do with the table which is used around the graphic to give it a framed appearance.[nbsp][nbsp]But, the fact that it corrects itself when refreshed has me baffled.[nbsp][nbsp]If anyone has any ideas on this, I would appreciate it.

Here are a couple of pages where the client has seen the problem.

Try putting the HEIGHT and WIDTH of the images in the IMG tag, that may fix the problem (besides that it may also speed up the loading of the page).

You may also want to run the pages through a HTML validator, there seem to be a lot of nesting errors and other errors in the HTML code (e.g. W3C validator (http://validator.w3.org)) that may also be causing problems.

HTH,
