client-side image size changing question Michael Eisenstadt 06-22-2005

What are the coding options for client-side image size changing?
I want the viewer to be able to switch between two different sizes
of the same image with his/her mouse.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Consider making the images background images, which would enable you to
switch them using CSS. Normally one background image would appear (no
hover, with smaller image size), but hovering the cursor over the image
would change the background image to the other image (hover, with larger
image size).

Don't do this if they are content. You can't write a graceful fallback, and
background images are not generally printed.

Flip the src attribute to select between two images taken from the
server (simple menu rollover code can be adapted to do this). Assuming
you know the two sizes already, this gives a much better visual result
than client-side resizing. Browsers aren't bitmap editors and their
resizing algorithms are often pretty crude.
