I don't know how to word this enough to do a search on it on the net. Maybe someone can help me with the technical terms.
What I want to do is resize an image when the browser window is manually resized. What I mean though is this ... say I have an image with declared width and height values. How do I resize the image when the browser is resized? By resized I don't particularly mean through the control panel in the display properties for the monitor like this setting or that setting. I mean using the image that is in between the _ X group in the upper right of the browser window. For example, if I had an image on a page that was 800 pixels wide that was also fixed by being specified as <img src="" width="800">, and this was in a display that was 800x600 ... if someone manually dragged the width of the screen to be smaller, how do I scale the image to fit. I'm looking for keywords on how to search for this kind of effect. If the answer is a no-brainer, just please have pitty on me today. LOL! Thanks [^]<

The default settings for Internet Explorer 6 -> 8 have this option called "automatic image resizing". Bet you can't guess what it's for.... Go to Tools, Internet Options, Advanced, Multimedia - you'll see it.
Within the registry, the location is: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main
Create a "REG_SZ" field on the right, title it "
Enable AutoImageResize”, then give it the value of “Yes”. This will work on all versions of IE 5-8.
For those who have the image resizing turned off, the simplest method would be to embed the image in a table's cell, then set the image to a percentage value rather than specified height/width.<

can't get more technical than that

Yep! 
That is pretty technical! LOL!
Well, after thinking about a bit more ... what I am really after is perhaps a compromise. Is there a way to replace an image with another image when the viewer resizes the window. Say if the width is within a certain range, then use a pre-cropped image suited for a specific width? If I use the percentage, in this case (with a fixed height), then the image will most likely distort if the width dimension is adjusted too greatly. I suppose this is some kind of javascript problem.<

if you only set either the width or height of an image then resizing will allways maintain the correct aspect.
using a percentage width with a fixed height is really not a good idea at all as your image will always be distorted no matter what you do.
to resize images on the fly you would need to write a .net image handler which can cope with the resizing and or cropping properly. html is not meant as an image manipulator :)<

Ack! I'm not a .NET man at all as of yet! *grumbles & complains* *pout* *goes back to the shop to Tommy-rig something else* *grumbles & complains some more* *grin*<
