The page class suffix _fp does not create (or display) thumbnails properly if the original image in the home page article includes height and width styling. For example, the following formatting in a homepage article will mess up the styling on the home page _fp view:
<img src="/images/stories/image.jpg" width="300" height="500" />
In this example, the suffix will create the thumbnail and then stretch it to fit 300 x 500, which looks outrageous. The only way to correct it is to delete the width and height properties from the img src in the article.
This is a simple fix for me, but not for the technically challenged folks who must rely on WYSIWYG editors, not to mention the fact that the size properties are better for browsers.
So the million dollar question. Is there a way to modify the _fp suffix function to overcome any styling that might be applied to an image?
