Thread: Width and Height Vs. Style. Does it Matter?

BlueVoda publishes some of my images with a Style="..." that includes width and height information, however it doesn't actually call out the Width and Height attributes.

There was one user who said that the height and width dimensions are not needed for SEO. However, whois.domaintools recommends having height and width dimensions for each image. I'm not sure whether whois.domaintools is right, but it is disturbing to be stuck at around 95%.

There is a workaround, which is to go into the .html after publishing, finding anywhere where ...border = .. style = ... and adding height = and width = based on the style =. The problem is, if you publish the page again you have to do the manual excercise all over again.

You cant do it in all cases, but i find it better to upload all my images in to a folder called images & link to then with a html box the same size as the image so i know the page space it will take up.
Just use a code similar to this.

<img src="http://www.barnetwalks.co.uk/images/hadley-wood/monken-hadley-village-gate.jpg" alt="Monken Hadley gate" align="top" border="2" style="width:336px;height:448px;">

I like your tip Chris...I was going to ask for a link where you have done this, but I suppose I would not see the difference in the end result.

Back to the original post...is there a way to actually edit the BV code and manually insert height & width tags as we used to do in html coding?

Most of this site is this way Barnet walks.

Chris,

Thanks for your reply. I understand what you are saying. The thing is, I do end up with code similar to what you've shown. According to the whois.domaintools SEO text browser, that isn't good enough. Only if in addition to the style = "" I add height ="" and width = "" do I get an SEO of around 99&#37;. Otherwise I'm stuck between 94% - 98% and get the warning that my images need height and width attributes. It doesn't affect how the wepage appears.

By the way, I really like Lincslady's question. If I could modify the html in bluevoda once and then have it the way I want it each time I republish, that would be great. The issue is that each time I publish I have to repeat a manually tedious exercise.

Is there anyway to set your web page so that there will be no side scrolling to do on any size monitor?
