logo upload problem

[a-w]

I have this logo which looks ok when opened in xara or IE. This logo was initially exported from xara with mostly default settings for .gif file. But when I uploaded it to the site, it has uneven edges and looks very different (you can see it at www.card-perfect.com) . How can I fix this?

On line 92 in your source your have described the image size incorrectly:

<img src="images/logo-cp.gif" width="229" height="95" border="0">

It should be 301 x 75

Good catch Steve.

A-W What program are you using to create your website?

Thanks so much Steve! I believe that is the reason. However, I haven't been able to fix it as I am not sure how to find out which file contains this info. Is there an easy way to find this out? My host account has all the files and I tried looking in most of those .php files but couldn't find this info. May be I need to continue looking.

Hi Gary, I did not develop/code this but got this done by a company in India based on all the layout and deisgn that I provided them. I am working on adding cards etc. during whatever little time I can get.

Thanks again!!

Hi A-W,

The file index.php creates and sends the page to the viewer's browser.

See the attached image for the line in the html that sets the image size. Notice that the <td> tag limits the size of the table division to 90 pixels which will also affect the image's quality.

Happy to help A-W

My suggestion then is that the company you paid to create the site should be responsible for fixing coding errors.

As the site is PHP based, the code is being processed on the server before delivered to the browser as html, so this may be the reason you cannot find the error when viewing the server files via FTP.

I will see if I can contact them as it been few months now. Looks like there is no way to find other than going through each of the .php files. Not sure if that will work!!??

Hi Bill, I checked the files as mentioned in the source code (index.php and also others) but did not find any reference to the logo file or the pixel dimension.

Thanks!

Yes this is because the site is PHP (Pre HTML Processor) based, the code is being processed on the server before delivered to the browser as html.

The raw .php file will not look the same as the source viewed via the browser's 'source viewer'

This is why you either need to know .php or have the Indian based company correct the error for you.

The other option (maybe easier) is to reproduce the logo with a bounding area which fits the described image dimensions of the html. Uploading this to replace the current logo will mean it at least remains in proportion

Thats correct. While I was trying this out with few of the different logos that I made, I did notice this. Sometimes it would show fine and sometimes not...now I know the reason once you pointed out.

Thanks!
