Behaviors Swap Image Problem

Guest

Hi, Can you pls help

I have created a page with a central large size image that changes
accordingly when the mouse rolls over a number of smaller images. I have
approx 9 large images of various sizes involved.

Because the images are different sizes, I unchecked the box 'Specify Size'
in picture properties of the original image.

This works well when I press F12 in Frontpage - it works as I would expect -
the page is adjusted according to the size of the new large image.

However, when I upload the page and run it from my browser each replacement
large image is forced (distorted) to be the same size as the original image -
I am confused and 'stuck'

Can you advise how I can overcome this please?

Resize your images before using them. Use an third party image editor. Try
IrFanview - it's a freebie and is excellent for resizing, optimizing,
converting, renaming and batch stuff as well as a zillion other tasks.

Resize outside of FP, then import the images into FP then do whatever.

Hi Rob
Thanks for the post - however, the images have a different width to length
ration which makes things very difficult - why would a no size setting work
locally but not on the web?

If you want them to match you'll have to do some cropping & fudging to get
the aspect ratios the same or it will never look right. You know...like
plastic surgery; a nip here a tuck there :)))

Hmm, I tried this code (courtesy of Murray) and the last image
(images/trevor-and-carole.jpg) is a different size - 600*400. The others are
386*386.
It worked perfectly

It may mean some cutting and pasting but it is tested and it works, so good
luck.
