miriam_eYay! I did it. The RandomWalks cartoons should no longer screw up peoples' friends pages because I've worked out how to make them scroll inside the page. The trick is to surround the image tag with div tags like this:
This puts scrollbars below and to the right of the picture so that if it doesn't fit in the page, instead of widening the table the picture accommodates the page.
Cool huh?
Took me a lot of detective work to figure this out. Couldn't find it documented anywhere.

Date: 2009-09-14 11:53 am (UTC)At home on both *nix and WinXP I have Firefox 3.0.14 on both machines (up upgraded the *nix machine tonight so it isn't a version issue).
And since it displays fine on my XP laptop but on neither of my home machines I'm going to take a punt that it's probably screen-res but in theory they'll all be set the same.
It's a mystery, but seems to me just me that's having the issue (and I used an FF plug-in to shrink the image so it's all good).
