Is it good practice to set the dimensions of an image (in static content), even if I have cropped the image to the correct size and it’s container has fixed dimensions and overflow:hidden ?
<img src="" title ="" alt="" width="100" height="100"/>

Generally you should provide the height and width tags, so that the browser can reserve the needes space for the image. Else, the layout may change during the loading of the page.
As you have a fixed size container and overflow: hidden, it probably won’t help much though. But even if it doesn’t help, it does no harm either. So you should stick with always adding height and width attributes.
