height and width are optional but sometimes makes it look nicer and adds page loading.

As I recall, without height & width being defined in the IMG tag, the image(s) must load before anything is displayed, which sucks for people on dial-up.

Actually, a default region is reserved as the page loads. That is what causes the page to "jerk" as each image is loaded one-by-one and the proper formatting is determined ... again and again for a page (or a thread on FR) reformats over and over ...

Thank you thank you thank you. I have been trying to get people to add the height= and width= parameters for years now.
