Does anyone know how to disable that IE 6 (Win) auto resize image. I know you can turn it off in the options, but I'd rather not have to have instructions on the page. I found this post in another forum but it wasn't all that helpful, at least it didn't work for me.

i've always preferred an html page with the image in it there, rather than just a lone image. you could use that code then

<meta http-equiv="imagetoolbar" content="no" />

I really don't think there's a way to disable it if you just link directly to the .jpg file.

As phil said the best way is to embed it in an html page. If you use php or asp you could set up a page like image.php?pic=whatever.jpg and use that to display the image

Go to Internet Options, under the Advanced tab, Under the Multimedia section, and uncheck "Enable Automatic Image Resizing." This is not web developer or at all mac-related.

Alright, thanks all for the replies... unfortunately, that's about what I expected. I think I'm just going to have to create the 56 separate pages worth for the images. I thought about using php, but the "web site" is going to be loaded off a CD that the school will be mailing to firms, so there would be no webserver to run php from.

Separate HTML files it is... oh well, at least the title bar will look better now (not "aparisi_images_large.jpg") Oh how I wish my viewers were all using Safari

Thanks again...

Hi, I've had a few drinks and just got back from a tour round the country seeing family, so bear with me

If you do want to make multiple files, couldn't you use a similar solution to what you would with php - that is, send each picture as a variable in the URL.

OK - this is what I mean:

Each link to a picture is actually something like:

Code:
something.html?whatever.jpg

Where whatever.jpg is the name of the picture and something.html would comprise of something like:

Code:
<html>
  <head>
  	<title></title>
  	
  	<meta http-equiv="imagetoolbar" content="no" />

  </head>
  	
  	<script>
  
  		function init() {
  		
  			var picToShow = document.location.href;
  			
  			if (picToShow.indexOf("?") != -1) {
  			
  				picToShow = picToShow.substr((picToShow.indexOf("?")+1),picToShow.length);
  				document.getElementById("pic").src = picToShow;
  			
  			} else {
  			
  				alert('No Picture to display');
  				
  			}
  		
  		}
  
  	</script>
  </head>
  <body onload="init()">
  
  	<img id="pic" src="" alt="Picture">
    	  
  </body>
</html>

I reckon that should work (well, I know, cos i just typed it up and tried it within the last few minutes...) - obviously, if all the pictures are within a folder, the just include that... You will still have the problem of ugly page titles.

Hope that's a wee bit of help.
