Item image bug in Info pages

Need confirmation on the following bug (not sure if it has been reported):

Many item images within info pages appear blury. The blurred images appear to be the correct original image when in fact they are smaller variants that are scaled up to the orginal size and therefore lose resolution.

Example:

Info page:
http://www.entropiawiki.com/Info.aspx?chart=Weapon&name=Cryogenic_Strike_Chip_V_(L)

Image appears blury. Click the image to link to the Gallery and the image in the gallery appears normal.

The Info page is sourcing this image: http://www.entropiawiki.com/images/gallery/4142Normal.jpg
The Gallery page is sourcing this image: http://www.entropiawiki.com/images/gallery/4142Original.jpg

The info page should be referencing the gallery image however it seems to reference a smaller version of itself. No idea exactly when this occured or why, or if it only occurs with single gallery images but it appears in many weapons, attachments and other info pages.

Please ensure new images are not upload to overwrite the current ones as the gallery contains the correct image. It appears they are ok, and it is simply a referencing error.

If some can test and post feedback, and if required we can list which have pages have this prob unless Witte is able to address this problem with a single global fix.

Cheers,
Chaz.

This is due to the image being scaled to an absolute size with a style tag in the HTML source. In this case it is slightly larger than the original.

style="height:225px;width:195px;border-width:0px;"

Also different browsers handle image scaling with different quality results (Firefox and I.E. being on average worse than results from Opera).

But something can be done about this on the dynamic HTML side, for example, drop the height/width from the style tag.

You are correct that this does occur in a browser dependant manner, however this case references two distinct images. One is half the resolution of the other and the smaller one is being scaled to that of the original. Unfortunately removing the style tag will simply display the smaller image (xxxxNormal.jpg), which is half the width/height (pixel/pixel) of the image uploaded to the gallery.

its fixed, thanks for reporting.
