Bad value “auto” for attribute “height | weight” on element “img”: Expected a digit but saw “a” instead.
The width and height attributes on <img> elements expect a digit to specify the dimension in pixels. It should not contain units, letters or percent signs.
You can achieve this using CSS instead, for example:
<!-- Invalid syntax, the height attribute expects only digits -->
<img src="photo.jpg" alt="cat" height="auto" />
<!-- Valid syntax using CSS -->
<img src="photo.jpg" alt="cat" style="height: auto" />Learn more:

The <table> element does not accept a height attribute. Use CSS instead.
The attributes width and height of <img> elements expect a non-negative integer, so an empty string is not allowed. Either define the correct dimension, or remove this attribute.

The <iframe> element, used to embed another document inside the current document, accepts both attributes width and height which must be valid non-negative integers. Percentages are not allowed for these attributes.
Check the iframe spec.

<img> elements accept a width attribute to specify the size in pixels. This value can only be an integer, it should not contain units or %. If you need to specify a percentage width, you can do that with CSS:
<img src="photo.jpg" alt="red car" style="width:100%;">
The width and height attributes on <img> and <iframe> elements expect a digit to indicate the number of pixels. Ensure that this attribute contains only digits.
For example:
<!-- This is invalid because width is not a digit -->
<img width="225px" height="100px" alt="cat" src="cat.jpg" />
<!-- This is valid -->
<img width="225" height="100" alt="cat" src="cat.jpg" />
Both <table> and <td> elements no longer accept a width attribute. Instead, you should use CSS as in this example:
<table style="width:100%;">
<tr>
<td style="width:50px;">Name</td>
</tr>
