This page illustrates a problem I had on 18 June 2013. The following images are all the same. When displayed at size 3 (width of screen), the first two display correctly, but
the third is much smaller:
I spent a lot of time investigating the cause of the problem. Here's the markup for the
images above:
<?php showphoto ("Photos/20110410/verandah.jpeg"); ?>
<p>
</p>
<?php showphoto ("Photos/20110410/verandah.jpeg"); ?>
<p/>
<?php showphoto ("Photos/20110410/verandah.jpeg"); ?>
Why? It seems that <p/> is not allowed in all dialects of
HTML, and browsers all interpret it in such a way that the implied CSS remains in effect
after the tag. But it is in XHTML, which
is what I'm using here. What a pain!
