Course - How to make a Website

Question, I tried to add a picture in my gallery and it's much larger then the others. I cropped the photo exactly the same as the others, not sure why it wouldn't be the same. You can view my page here http://www.tquint.com.

Appreciate the help!

Hi Tarry

It looks like the only styling on the images is max-width: 100%. The last image is portrait, compared to the others being landscape. It is therefore taller than the landscape images which is why it appears this way on the website.

The last image is 1755w × 2340h compared to the others at 2448w × 1836h.

Aside from the aspect ratio problem you are experiencing, you may want to create smaller versions of each image for the gallery page. These are very large images to load for a site. The small images in the gallery could then link to the full resolution shots.

That image has a width of 768 and height of 1024. the rest of the images have a width of 1024 and height of 768. If you were to rotate the picture it would look the same but the orientation would be off. It's like to one image is in portrait and the others are in landscape.

Inside the img tag, add a width and height.

<img src="img/table1.jpg" width="500px" height="500px" alt="">

or

<img src="img/table1.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 500px" alt="">

You can also change it in the CSS.

img {
   width: 500px;
   height: 500px;
}

Hope this helps you out!

Edit: as to what Tom said, I would listen to him and make the sizes the same in your img tag. This helps it to load a lot faster and cut down on bandwidth.
