css - Is it still relevant to specify width and heigth attribute on images in HTML? -
i found a similar question here, answer: "you should define width , height in image tag." 2009.
in meantime, many things has changed on frontend. doing responsive page design now, many devices , sizes simultaneously (mobile, tablet, desktop...).
so, wonder still necessary specify width , height attributes in 2016, , reason (for responsive, page speed, seo...)?
an img
element has width , height attributes, they're not required under doctype
.
width , height attributes 'required' or relevant reserve space on page , prevent page moving around loads - important. can achieved using css instead providing css loads enough - load before images anyway, should good.
it possible (and valid) specify 1 attribute, width or height , browser calculate omitted value in order maintain correct aspect ratio.
you can specify percent values in attributes if required. don't need use css this, if implying.
also, relevant add - under html5 width , height can take pixel value, in other words valid non-negative integer.
whether use width , height attributes can depend on design. if have lots of differently sized images, want lump dimensions in css or include them img?
