That could be. I may well misunderstand the concept of using a width percentage.

I assumed that if an image is 1000 pixels wide, when posting it with a “width=50%” tag, that it would post an image 500 pixels wide.

And a 2000 pixel image would display as an image 1000 pixels wide. It didn’t occur to me that it would be otherwise.

I will have to look now. Thanks for the correction.

The image width scales dynamically based on the “parent container’s” width. For example, width = “50%” makes the image half the width of its container. If the container’s width changes (e.g., due to browser resizing or responsive design), the image width adjusts proportionally. You can try this by resizing your browsers window.

Here’s another handy feature. If the “container” is a table cell, the width of the image will change to fit the table cell width. You can use this to make a table with an image the full width of a cell and another cell below or to the right for a caption some text

Using the Width attribute as a percentage, the aspect ratio is preserved unless overridden by another (e.g., height).

More than you wanted to know, I’m sure!
