Thanks.
The picture files are not that big to start with, but resizing might be the
only option it seems. I have no real experience of java scripts (except a
few bits I've borrowed from examples), and it looks like the table
data/anchor syntax does not support setting a size for target jpg (???).
I've tried adding a width parameter but it has no effect.
