Interesting; thanks for pointing this out. I added the change to Dom's
original fix because in HTML, an image's height and width[1] can only be
specified in points or percentage[2]. Using inches was invalid.
Perhaps I should have used an alternate conversion function, but if so,
I don't know it. Can someone suggest a solution to this?
Take care,
John
