The site was off line for a few days. I have solved the "mystery of img sizes" now. The images were placed in tags, but I also specified the auto-size in stylesheet. That was the problem. Tag alone is enough. Now the page is ONLINE here: frofi.co.uk

I am not sure what you are talking about here because I get a 404 looking at the page.

If you are using the background-image style property of the div images, you will have no choice but to specify the height and width dimensions.

You should be placing images in an IMG tag. These will automatically size to the images size if you negate the height and width property. If you then stick that image component into the div layer, it will be sized properly.

the height and width auto features are used to size the div according to its content and the background image dimensions will have no effect onthe divs size.

Why would I do that? There are 3 different image styles on that page and there are 8 pages, each with at least 6 images in them (that's 144 in total!). I can't resize every image to make it fit into certain pre-set div size. That wouldn't look very good. Am I suppose to make a different style (or class) for every single one of them and do it every time I update the content? What is CSS good for if you can't rely on it with such a basic thing like auto size?
Anyway, I think there must be something wrong with my style-sheet. Otherwise, why would everything work fine in FF and even in IE6 after you refreshed it a few times? Are there any rules as to in what order class properties should be written? Mine looks like this:

.picR {
        border-width: 1px;
        float: right;
        width: auto;
        height: auto;
        margin-top: 0px;
        margin-left: 10px;
        margin-right: 0px;
        margin-bottom: 10px;
       
}

Try actually setting parameters for the "divs" for height and width
