Have a look at http://www.cofchristknoxville.org .

I have a 62x62px image I want to insert just before "Community of Christ - Knoxville, Tenn. Congregation"

see the attached image: insertImageHere.jpg

Below is the code that now exists.

<body>
<div id="wrapper">
<div id="header">
<h1>Community of Christ - Knoxville, Tenn. Congregation</h1>
</div>

When I place the image tag in front of the <h1>, the image shows BUT it is stretched out of shape. I want the image to hold its 62x62px size and appear on the same line as the <h1>Community of Christ.... line.

Can this be done and if so how?

Thanks for your time.

Hiya James,

In order to do this, you "should" be able to just find the image in the tree to the left with your files and folders for your website project, put your mouse where you want to insert the image, and then double click the file in the tree. This should insert the code for you for the image and it will include the height and width variables that are needed to retain your image size. Hope that helps :)

Thanks for the fast response Jo Ann,

I did as you instructed above but it did not quite work. :(

Below is the code:

<div id="wrapper">
<div id="header">
<img src="images/New62CLRoval.gif" width="92" height="66" alt="" /><h1>Community of Christ - Knoxville, Tenn. Congregation</h1>
</div>

See the attached image: imageDistorted.jpg.

Ideas?

Can you put the image in and let me take a look at the page itself to see what might be wrong? Also you might want to put either <p></p> tags or <div></div> tags around that image code.

HiYa Jo Ann,

OK, have a look at http://www.cofchristknoxville.org . I added the <div> tag, but the image is still distorted? Sigh. Ideas?? :/

To me it looks as if the image actually is rectangular, not square. The inserted pic on your site looks squashed.

James. Looks as if there are several issues here.
The image is actually 92 x 66 px
It has been scaled to 128 x 128 px.
Just this scaling is going to created distortion anyway. Don't quite understand what has caused the resizing, but to have your image at 62 x 62 you should really open it up in an image editor and make that change.

Thanks for the response. I know the image is 92x66 px, which is OK, it will still fit where I want it if only it would hold that size. Ideas??

Perhaps it is being scaled because of the css <div id="header"> tag? See below:

<div id="header">
<div><img src="images/New62CLRoval.gif" width="92" height="66" alt="" /></div><h1>&nbsp;&nbsp;Community of Christ - Knoxville, Tenn. Congregation</h1>

Ideas?? :)

Had a look at your css file and this could be the culprit...
#header {width:960px; float:left; background:#425c82 url(../images/header_bg.jpg) left top repeat-x}
#header img {width:128px; height:128px; float:left}
#header h1 {margin:20px 15px; font-family:Georgia, Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size:2em; color:#fff}

I see that the header image is 128 x 128. You could try removing that and just leave the float left in there to see what happens.
