New way to dynamically resize images

[Masta Squidge]

I really hope this sort of thing catches on, it would work wonders for people using lower resolution displays:

There are several ways of adjusting image sizes to windows. Though not that dynamically, I used a certain javascript that adjusts the "popupping" image size to the browser window (well, to a maximum size of the original image.
See here for instance that when you resize your window to something small, the images adjust themselves to that size when clicked (not on the fly though).

alsi it is possible (again with javascript) to put an image as a background image of a proportional table cell and when the window is resized (and the table cell with it), the image will follow the resizing proportionally.

True though that different browsers behave differently with javascript. The above example of mine does not work on Safari (for Windows) for instance.

Ah, but that simply resizes the image. the site you linked to simply moves images around when I resize the window, i dont know if thats what you meant to show me or not. This is talking about actually altering the image.
It can take a 1000 px wide image and shorten it to 500 pixels and have it still look like it should without distortion.

Yeah, I've seen that video already. It is actually nice and I guess useful too in many ways.

o.O shown up!
Yeah the video was cool but in practice it doesnt seem to interesting. I think what would make it much more useful would be the ability to do this within a web browser using meta data stored within the image like the video hinted at.
