Re: dimensions coding

Marge,

Didn't you say that you use some program to generate your html? The added
height/width parameters look alot like what Front Page does to the source
code as you work in the graphics (non-html) mode. Perhaps your html editor
is adding the height/width as part of its process to upload your files?
