New Image Tag to reduce Imagesize

[TCM]

Uh.... the height remains, so the image will be disorted. 'cause it's client-side, they'll still download the full filesize of the full image, which defeats the purpose of thumbnails in many applications. What's the point?

The point is to avoid the forum being disorted (optic wise) ...

ive been using something similar for years and the images dont distort at all without a height attribute

<a href="{param}" target="_blank"><img src="{param}" width="640" border="4" alt="Click the image to view the full version" /></a><div align="center"><b>Click the image to view the full version.</b></div>

It's "Dimensions"... Not filesize. Get it right.

Actually, this is a common technique. If you only specify one dimensional attribute, the browser will automatically scale the other to match.
