SCALING IMAGES

[Rob]

Hi,

I know tables can be scaled so they automatically occupy the page
width at any screen resolution, but is there any way that images can
also auto scale to cope with differing viewing resolutions.

Try width:100% in the stylesheet.
However, it might be a better idea to just have different resolutions
avaliable, when images are scaled up they tend to look pretty rough.

Browsers can scale images, but they do an awful job of it. If it's
something extremely simple you could make it work.

Don't set height and width in the HTML, and set width: 100% in CSS. But
the height should be proportional to the image's proportions, but I think
there are UAs which might screw this up, not sure.

KHTML browsers do less well with this than other browsers. There is some
magic point where the height stops scaling proportionate to the width.
With a wide window, the image ends up stretched horizontally. I've seen
this with both Konqueror 3.2 and Safari 1.0 v85, don't know about other
versions.

You may decide the percentage of those users isn't large enough to worry
over.

I did exactly that with javascript. Actually, it was 12 images which
resized no matter what resolution or how you resized the browser
horizontally or vertically. If you **really** want, I'll dig out the
page and put it up so you can see it and view the code.

Yes please, if you could. Many thanks.

Okay, here it is:

Remember, javascript IS required for this so it isn't a perfect solution.
