Image Centering Problem

[Murdoc]

Hi all,

I am currently using the server-side Image control to display images, with the image paths being
stored in an SQL database. Everything is working fine, but I have run into a small problem with the
image sizes. Currently, some images are smaller than others, and when they are displayed in the
control, they are stretched, and hence distorted.

Is there any way I can automatically centre the image without changing the size of the control? The
only other options I would have then, would be either modifying the size of the control for each
image, or resizing all the images.

How about putting a single-cell table with a fixed sized and no borders
around the image control. Centre the contents of the cell with the align
attribute.

Then, don't set any image size for the image control so that it sizes itself
according to the image it gets. That way, the all of the images would take
up the same space but the smaller ones would appear in the centre.

Would that work?

Yeah, it will. Thanks. I didn't think it would be that simple.
