I've been finding myself, while in developmenet stages, inserting the bare minimium IMG tags, that is src and alt, to facilitate image changes/flexibility. For example, if I decide to edit an image's size I don't have to go back into the markup and change those attributes for it to immediately display properly; I find that quite handy! Used to be conventional wisdom to specify width and height in an image tag to keep the page layout from jumping around as the page loads. However, I find myself very tempted in these days of broadband and layouts inthe stylesheet, to start leaving the size attributes out altogether to give an extra measure of flexibility/ease of update. I was not seing a problem with this at all and pretty much decided to start doing it. Then I printed a page =[ The print stylesheet worked right as rain but the image in the flow of text, that I was tryin to include on the printed version, did not print. I tried adding the attributes and that did it, printed fine (IE6 winXP). Long way to go for a question but... anyone have any thoughts on pros and cons of specifying/not specifying those attributes? And more importantly, for my edumacation, is there any way around this printing snafu I've run into, that is, can I print images (<img />'s) without specifying the width and height attibutes?
