Ok, thanks, but the next question is, how do I keep from getting the picture
ratios wrong if I reduce to a height and a width with a different ratio than
the original pic? Does the browser correct for this, or do I get a pic
stretched out one direction and squashed the perpendicular direction?
I noticed in the css example on w3schools that it used height and width
attributes with values of "auto". Does this mean if I shrink a pic in one
direction, the browser will shrink it automatically in the perpendicular
direction? Not sure about the meaning of auto for these attributes.
Thanx

it is about the width of the enclosing block element.
So if the image is in a div, 20% means 20% of thw width of that div.
But use please css, not width and height of the image.
