picture size in tables

does anyone know how I set all my pics in a table to the same size? I have a form that pulls pic paths from an mysql db. The problem is the pics are different sizes. How do I make them uniform?
Thanks,
Denise

Hi Denise,
if you just want to display the pics the same size, i think you can just specify it in the <img> tag like this:
Code: Select all
<img src="yourpicture.jpg" width="thewidthyouwantdisplayed" height="theheightetc">
or using code you posted before:
Code: Select all
echo "<img src="http://www.umuc.edu/~em680a10/" . $rowї"image"] . "" border="0" width="120" height="120">";
(assuming you want the images to be 120x120)
The only problem with this is if the images are not all in proportion - some of them will end up looking squashed.
hope this helps,

Sam

It can be a simple as this
$picpath = mysql_result($result,$i,"filename");
<IMG Border='0' Width='180' Alt='Photo' Src=$picpath>
you can also add a height component but the ratio may distort the picture.

being the CSS fan i am here is my two bits:
make a CSS selector like this:
table img {
width: /* the size you want */
height: /* the size you want */
}
this will then be applied to every img tag contained within all tables
I agree with mydimensin

I am a huge CSS fan as well, definately go with mydimension on this one.
Also, DON'T FORGET YOUR SEMICOLENS AT THE END OF EACH PROPERTY

.
Code: Select all
table img {
width: /* the size you want */ ;
height: /* the size you want */ ;
}
