Ie 9 adds a width=1 and height=1 to images

I’m rebuilding this site in a responsive design http://mcjlandscaping.com/rebuild/

I have omitted width and height attributes on some home page images and used the max-width property to make them scale.

In ie9, firebug lite tells me that ie added a width and height attribute with a value of 1. I’m thinking the image is 1 x 1 so i can’t see it.

Any idea why this happend?

What happens if you remove the empty height and width attributes on those images?

you got it! thanks! i don’t think i would have gotten that. I did have empty height and width attributes set on the images that did not show. makes sense as I have always used height and width until my first responsive design.

I never know width=“” and height=“” would stop the image from showing in ie.

do you use firebug lite to edit code in ie? I was unable to edit code with it. I know it’s a lite version, but I thought something was wrong with it as i could not edit on the fly.

To be honest, I rarely touch IE, being on a Mac, although I do have it installed. I normally update the HTML and CSS via FTP to test IE.
