Well, I don't know about it making it more likely to display, but I always include width and height tags to be considerate because trying to scroll up and down a page with loading images on it is a damn sight easier if all the right sized spaces are there (having loaded immediately with width/height tags) instead of the scrollbar constantly getting smaller as you scroll while the images load without said tags. I was taught that including w/h tags was only polite; I'm surprised you don't.
Ah. Well, like I say, width= and height= are your friends - it means that the html loads the space that image belongs in immediately, and so the scroll bar on your page doesn't change as it loads.
I was self-taught code by the internet too, but John W made that comment about image code when looking at one of my little sites.
Yeah, it does make sense. I think semagic has the option to automatically set the attributes for the image, so I'll see if I can set that up (the way I paste images is to stick the text in, and press ctrl-alt-I to convert it to an image tag).
Ctrl+M brings up the Make Link/Image dialog box, with the cursor in the Internet Address text box. I delete the text already in there, and paste in the URL of the image.
I never both with the Title or Link Text text boxes.
At the bottom of the dialog box is a control group for Image. I've checked the "Detect image size" check box.
This might be a couple extra keystrokes but it includes the height and width tags.
Probably not what wolfieboy means, but: LJ has a setting to strip images from your friends page if they are too wide. This setting also strips images from your friends page if they don't have a width attribute in the html.
That's exactly what I was talking about. LJ displays a placeholder if the image is over a certain size, for me at 1024x768. If no height/width tags are supplied, LJ doesn't know how big the image is without fetching it and so does the safe thing and just displays the placeholder.
