This is not the best way to go about this. What if the user has a
higher
resolution? i.e. 1600 x 1200
What you need to do is tell your graphics designer to redesign with a
variable screen in mind. This in my opinion is one of the harder
aspects
of design. This is why I usually try to stick with the 800 x 600
resolution
unless the client requests others.
If you have to use the layout that you have and the look is more
important
than speed... use the largest possible image and let them shrink. If
it's the
other way around (speed over look) then make them smaller and let them
enlarge.
Also... if I recall correctly one of the browsers does not handle the
100%
trick with images. I could be wrong about this, or it could have been
a
couple of versions ago, but you should definitely look into it.
