The webpage will likely display the same in any webbrowser. My point
is that the actual jpg itself has different dimensions to that which
you specify it to display as in the HTML source.

The image referenced in the HTML source is:

http://www.moosemystic.net/Gallery/MPhotos/Calif/Sierras/siltrees.jpg

The pixel dimensions of this image are 840x553.

Your HTML source, however, specifies the browser to display it as
follows:

<IMG SRC=siltrees.jpg width=860 height=660>

That is, 860x660, which are different dimensions to the jpg,
particarly as a ratio of each other, thus the horizontal compression
of the image in the webpage:

It's a lovely image. I like the non-horizontally-compressed version
better though. :-)

Cheers,
