any way to shrink down jpg pic with html

i'm really scared to reply now, but here goes, please bear with me

when i created the image it was a a screen shot, shft/prnt scr, then saved
1st in paint as bmp,
then opened in imaging and saved as jpg, maybe the answer to this is get a
real graphics editor, this is the only way i could get to jpg from a screen
shot with these editors, whew, ok

when i inserted the image, my web page editor, easyhtml, set the width and
hgt to 1280x1024
i tried changing that to lower counts but the resulting resolution was
really poor
so this does not work in this case, which is why i posted the orignal
question, 1000 posts ago :>)

And the original answer still stands :-) Use an image editor to reduce the
size of the image. If you don't have one, someone mentioned IrfanView
before - it is free.

I've found it doesn't seem to matter. If you made it a fixed 200x200 format
for both arguments, then it appears to adjust as needed. With neither going
over the set value.
So if you had a 200x220 pic, it would reduce to fit accordingly.

Oh, come on, Andrew. You're splitting hairs, now. Everybody, buy
everybody who uses IE always uses the latest version because they're
justifiably afraid not to. You are singling out one solution for one
browser and nitpicking to the point that I'm not much interested
anymore. I also gave about three other options and explained the ups
and downs of each ... I didn't pick on IE or forget that there were
other browsers.

You should never group me with brucie & the others that know what they are doing. I am just a dumb
amateur compared to those guys, & a chick or 2.

Everybody I know that uses IE would not even know how to install a new
version. They use the one that came with the system they purchased 4 years
ago. They probably don't even know there *are* different versions. Many of
them don't even know there are different versions of _Windows_ :-(

Cheers
Richard.

Bull****. Mine does. Mine is v6. It's in options. Enable image
resize. It's a pain so I disabled it.

Okay then ... I'll cry uncle. I was just speaking on the premise that
anyone who uses IE is most likely to have upgraded or hotpatched to the
point where the experience in nearly universal. I don't want to fight
about it.
