squished slideeshow pics

I have a web site that has a slideshow which I used front page to edit from a
allwebco template. It has a slideshow and some of the pics are "squished" I
read that frontpage does this and there is a glitch. I tried to edit the size
of the pic in HTML but it keeps putting it back the same way. I tried the
following fix with same results.

Squished Slideshow Picture Problems

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gallery thumbnails, pop-ups and slideshow pictures can get squished if the
picture is a portrait type. Here are some suggestions for solving these
problems.

Squished slideshow pictures:
The slideshow originally included in all templates prevents pictures from
being squished by not having a width and height defined, however, certain
HTML editors will add code that can squish the pictures. To solve the
problem, open the slideshow.htm in Notepad or a text editor and do a search
for name="show". The code shown below is all that should be on that line in
the slideshow.htm. There should be no "length=" or "width=". If you are
getting squished pictures just make your code match.


<img src="gallery/Fgallery1-1.jpg" name="show"><br>


Fixing this with Frontpage:
Frontpage has a glitch that adds sizes to your slideshow.htm. Here are two
solutions. The first solution was sent in by one of our template users:

Solution #1. Choose "Insert" on the main toolbar, then choose "Web
Component", "Advanced Controls", "HTML". This allows you to insert HTML code
that FrontPage will ignore. It encloses the code as follows:

<!--webbot bot="HTMLMarkup" startspan --> INSERTED CODE TO IGNORE HERE
<!--webbot bot="HTMLMarkup" endspan -->

The work around doesn't work. Does anybody have a solution for this.

Use an image editor such as IrfanView, www.irfanview.com to resize your images to the size
you want "before"you create the slide show, and then create the slideshow with the resized
images.

Steve,

Did that already. They are all the same size. The HTML code with "sizes"
keeps reappearing when I upload. I want to delete the sizes totally so the
show will work. I can do it on my desktop and it works perfectly but when I
upload to the site FP replaces sizes.

Ok,
If you resize an image used in a web page, you need to edit the page, delete the "old"
image, save the page and then reinsert the new image.

Example: if you insert image abc.jpg into a web page, and then resize the image in an image
editor and save it with the same name, and then re-open the web page, the browser is going
to display the "new" image at the same size as the "old" image because the height and width
of the old image are still in the html on the web page.

You need to open the page, delete the image and re-link to the new one and then save the
page.

Steve,

All the images were resized before I entered them into the slideshow. If I
open the slideshow on a saved copy on my desktop it shows that there are NO
sizes just like it is supposed to be for example
<img src="gallery/Fgallery1-1.jpg" name="show"><br>

When I up load that or try to change from what is there now <img
src="gallery/Fgallery9-1.jpg" name="show" width="500" height="375">
<br>
It won't let me take out the width and height it reverts back to having the
width and height in it no matter what I do.

If I can get the width and height out like the one on my desktop it works
perfectly.

Man I thought this was a tech site. NO Answers. Amazing. Well here is the
solution just in case others have the same problem.

You can't use front page to edit a slideshow from allwebco and perhaps
others as well it does in fact put in sizes that squish some not all of the
pictures. Open your slideshow.htm and edit the size out like explained below
in my first post WITH NOTEPAD. Then upload to your site with ws-ftp
professional or a good ftp program.

yes, but not an allwebco tech site.

you do know that ftp'ing files to an fp web with fp extensions will wack the
extensions right?

TY I appreciate that. Couldn't you just open the file on the remote server
in FTP then edit it in notepad and save that way to the remote?
 
R

Rob Giordano \(Crash\)

You could try that, but then I'd mark the local photogallery files copy: Do
Not Publish

Dunno if it will work or if you'll wack the extensions or what will happen
if you ever Recalculate Hyperlinks on the server.

I believe that FP will always want to correct image files without ht/width
values if it sees them missing.

Which Allwebco template are you using? Maybe you can use JAlbum instead for
your slideshow/gallery.

Rob,

Thanks. My site is www.fabricartdesign.com and I'll be switching it from
road runner to godaddy cause rr doesn't support commercial sites and size is
an issue with them. You can look see and on the 2nd slide and more the pics
are squished. This only happens in the slideshow. I have a clean copy of the
entire site on my desktop and if I edit in notepad for the sizes on the
slideshow it works perfectly. You obviously know what is going on so your
expertise is appreciated.

Should I upload the clean site to the new host in FP or FTP? What would you
suggest? And then if I do upload in FTP can I later edit and make changes
with FP or will the same thing happen?

Welp, that javascript is way beyond me, and having right click enabled makes
it difficult to see some stuff quickly.

However, from a logical troubleshooting standpoint, since it's only
squishing a FEW images the problem would have to be with the initial image
or in the javascript or whatever is resizing the images prior to
display....I would think. Looks like some images are being resized with no
regard to aspect ratio...but only some!

I'd hold off on mucking around with FTP or changing the html until someone
who knows javascripting better than I do to take a looksee.
