Fixed size images in a fluid table layout

Another way to think about this...

My mind is all muddled at the moment and I can't think of the best way to do this. Say I have a table- the left side is 80% and the right 20%. In the left side I want to add another table that has three fluid <td>s- so that it fills 100% of the 80% - but I need them to be 'fixed' because they contain pictures of fixed width. How can I keep the design fluid yet maintain the fixed look.

Say I have three cells spanning the 80% td cell...33% three times...Is it possible to stretch photos depending on various resos giving that the image is of a certain size? That might be an absurd assumption but I thought you could dynamically change the size of an image on the fly...could this work at all?

Thanks;)

Couldn't locate it now, but in the CSS forum (if memory serves me correct) there as a post about sizing pictures in ems. That might be what you are looking for.

CSS scale image control with ems is possible, and very useful in certain situations. IE Mac may be troublesome however. But for standards compliant browsers, em scale images work like a dream.

I can't wait to find out about this!

That would open up an ENTIRE new way to look at things...
