I still think that HTML should handle it. There is no way that html can handle the situation. If you have an image that is 100x200 and you want to fit it into a 75x75 square that has the correct ratio, you are going to need to have some sort of border on the top and/or bottom of the image. Now if we leave it to the browser to handle this there are so many different options to do when scaling down the image that it becomes impossible to predict what will be displayed. I say your alternate solution would be to write a image generating php script that scales your image down to 75x75 yourself and reference that image. Good luck. Curt. --
