Here's the issue, I have a "Dynamic width" hompage where the columns and text stretch to fit the size of the IE window. The problem is that the Picture on the webpage stays the same size. My web developers have told me that the "the image cannot scale."
Is this true? There's no way to make an image on a webpage stretch, like the text, to fit the screen?
Thanks for your help.
Although you can give an image dimensions that scale by using scripting or sometimes percentages, that is playing with fire for the look and feel of the page. Either 1) the image has too much data (too big a file size) at smaller resolutions and therefore it loads slower than needed, or 2) it gets pixelated (gets the jaggies/freckles/fuzzies) at larger resolutions. And at fractional multiples of the original size, the image looks most peculiar.
You also can use script in the page to call a different image at larger window sizes, but this is not standard practice and is usually much more trouble than it's worth, requiring 2-3-4 versions of each image, or more.
Sounds like your designers are giving you solid input. Your much better off to use 1 image and plan the page around one size.
BTW, the image was a .jpg image.

Just go to the microsoft homepage and look at the ad.
Then make your browser window a lot smaller. Hit refresh, and you'll see you get a smaller picture served.
