I created a table with 4 rows and 16 columns in HTML and I inserted an image in one cell and text in another until I had all my rows and columns. See my code below. My problem lies with the image: the image size is too big. I don’t know how to get it to about the size of a thumbnail. Also the text isn’t sitting right next to the image. Note: the image is on the left and the text is on the right side of the image. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Most browsers will automatically resize an image to the dimensions specified in the width and height attributes of the <img> tag:

    When specified, the width and height attributes tell user agents to override the natural image or object size in favor of these values.

    When the object is an image, it is scaled. User agents should do their best to scale an object or image to match the width and height specified by the author.
    Visual presentation of images, objects, and applets

    However, the right way to do this is to resize the original images to the desired dimensions.

    So, if you need a 160 x 120 image and instead you have a 1600 x 1200 image, go ahead and create the resized image and reference that in the source.

    Doing so will help the page load faster because the image file will now be much smaller than the original.
