Google trying to index images in strange ways

The other day when checking webmaster tools I noticed that Google have been trying to index hundreds of images on one of my sites, and is reporting 404 errors for all of them.

For some reason it is trying to follow links such as:

http://www.DOMAINNAME.com/images/image.jpgwidth=Xheight=Y

Code (markup):

So it is making the image width and height settings part of the URL, which naturally breaks the link. Does anyone happen to know why the googlebot is making this mistake?

 

Perhaps they're trying to tie the size of the images in with the image names for more specific search results, but right now the formula isn't quite right

 

Did you use the "" in the image HTML code? Maybe that'll make a difference.

 

This also happened to me once.
You are probably generating the images via PHP, and forgeting to pre quote the " with /

 

that's what I was thinking.

 

i think it's problem which is created by googlebot. there must be a link your images like

 

That might be the problem.

Just odd that the webmaster tools haven't reported this until now, with the website's current system being ~6 months old.
