[css-d] Using an Image as Home (index) page

Hi I am trying to design a site for a friend who owns a music store. He insists on having the store front picture he has as the home page. I can do that but my problem is how to do it so it looks fine at different resolutions with out having to make to different pages and using Java-script to send

Re: [css-d] Using an Image as Home (index) page

Does he understand that if he uses an image as a homepage that users will not be able to cut and paste copy (ie contact details), search engines will not be able to index the content and that users with images disabled or using assistive technologies won't be able to see anything at all, unless you

Scaling images using width/height: X%/Xem can do your job, however IE maps pixels in a truly disgusting fashion when you do this, and in any case you'd have to use a maximum dimensions definition to stop the image getting any bigger than its original size (which will look awful in everything re

Consider using the picture as a background image. I did a similar thing when building this site: http://staff.reynolds.edu/mcline/index.html Two significant considerations: 1. I had to make the image about 22" wide so that it wouldn't repeat on the larger monitors, and had to construct the content
