My images are too small on my website...

What's on my mind? Confusion. That's what! But I know you guys can help me. My background is that I'm a bit new to all this HTML malarkey, and I'm on a path from VSD. I'm trying to get an image to display properly on my website. It's a reasonably sized image, but no matter how big the image is, the page scales it down to 200x150. I've adjusted everything I can think of in RLMP.

Here's the HTML code snippet generated by RLMP:
<div class="row">
<div class="coffee-span-12 coffee-offset-0">
<img class="image-3-2 image-2" src="http:/layouts/helpcomputing/IMAGES/ScreenError.JPG" alt="Image" id="Screen_Error">
</div>
</div>

Am I doing something wrong in RLMP? Or am I missing the point on RLMP and I should be rolling my sleeves up to adjust the above HTML code?

Cheers

Hi Robert,

Very easy fix. Adjust your max-width of the image element . By default it is set to 200 wide... Change that number to the actual width of your image.

Hi Steve,

Tried that. Made that 600. Tried adjusting it to 450, the actual width of my image, but still no joy... :-(

How many spans is the column you put your image in? Can you upload your site so we can help you determine what's wrong too please?

Thanks for your help, Steve. I tried various spans, including 6 and 12. And two different image sizes. My website is hiding away at http://robdotb.coffeecup.com/layouts/he … index.html

And my rlmp file is attached.

Increase your max-width and min-width.
I can't hear what I'm looking at.

Hi Eric.
Tried that before. But just tried it again for both of the images, Image and Image Link, and it still doesn't work... :-(

Your wireframe CSS has a max-width of 200px. I don't see anything in your main.css that would over-ride that.
For example: img id="screen error". Did you create rules for that specific ID?
img.image-1-1,img.image-1-2,img.image-2-1,img.image-3-2,img.image-4-3,img.leaderboard,img.logo,img.map,img.rectangle,img.skyscraper,img.square{
width:100%;
max-width:200px;
margin-bottom:.4375em;
display:inline-block
}

Which ones do you want bigger? Can you be a little more specific?;)

Hi Eric,
Yep, that would help! It would seem, now that I've right-click-properties on all the pictures that they are all 200px wide when they shouldn't be. So, essentially, it's all pictures that should be bigger that seems *somehow* to be restricted to 200px in width...

Have something to add? We’d love to hear it!
