<QUOTE>
I placed a bitmap image in a form in OI, saved it and "published" the 

form to HTML. the bitmap file is in the same directory as the HTML form file. When I try to load the form in my browser it "hangs" then 

"time outs".  Is there a problem or a trick in adding images

to OI/WEB forms???

TIA

Perhaps not all browsers can do bmp. (My IE5 does, though.) But they shouldn't hang.



But I wonder about that image height of yours. Image dimensions are in pixels so must be integers. Perhaps your browser doesn't like that. (Again my IE5 does fine, though.)



Btw - any reason you specify image size at all? Well, you're not the only one. I see everybody do it. Why not let the image take the space it needs? If the specified dimensions are different from the image file's the browser is forced to scale the image, reducing the quality.

<QUOTE>Oystein,

I didn't set the size myself... the entire HTML

that I posted was "PUBLISHED" by OI from the

Form Designer.

Generally, by specifying the image size, a page will load faster.  This is more noticeable on pages that are graphics intensive.  If no size is specified, the browser must determine how much space to allocate.  If the size is specified, then the browser automatically allocates that space, and moves on with parsing the rest of the HTML code.  According to the standard, it is recommended that image sizes be specified.

This is more HTML than OI, but...



Where does the 'sealshd.bmp' file live on your web server? Unless it is in the default location for images and documents, you must specify where it lives- eg '/img/Logo.gif'



Either move the graphic or modify the HTML.

So that's why the whole world disagreed with me. :-)
