How do I stop Frontpage from inserting values for slideshow images

[Whiterabbit]

I have a web from Allwebco that has a slideshow. The photos are landscape and
portrait. When I upload the slideshow file frontpage puts in H & W dimensions
W=500 H=333. I don't want these because it distorts the photos in portrait
mode. It only affects IE browsers, for some reason my firefox ignores these
numbers and displays the image as I made them. Is there any way I can stop FP
from putting these values in? Or, is there code that will tell IE to display
the image how it was created?

Many thanks,

Jim

I am not aqainted with Allwebco products, but if the slideshow uses
JavaScript to swap large images, then ALL these images will be rendered at
the same size, regardless of the original size of the image. It's not
FrontPage doing this - it is the slideshow JavaScript.

You need a slideshow that completely replaces the image tag in a container,
rather than swap the image src attributes.

Or you could make FrontPage completely ignore the image tag by pacing it in
a HTMLmarkup webbot, and remove any width and height from the tag.
In code view it will be similar to:

<!--webbot bot="HTMLMarkup" startspan -->
<img src="images/tp.gif" alt="">
<!--webbot bot="HTMLMarkup" endspan -->

or batch resize your images before you use them in the slideshow...IrFanview
is free and great for batch processing/resizing/optimizing/renaming etc.

Thanks, but none of these ideas worked. I had to de-activate the FP extensions before my pics were fixed. Then had to find a a script to process the form I have on my site.

So both are done and everything finally works.

Thanks to all who helped.
