Is the idea to ensure that the image is displayed at about the same size on both screens, or that less data is sent in the low-res scenario?
Both. One thing that should be noted is that the 'IMG' HTML tag has a 'LOWSRC'
attribute, which is intended for a low resolution version of the image, but I don't think that ever made it into CSS.
My understanding of the LOWSRC tag is it allows for a smaller version of the image to be downloaded and displayed while the full size image is being loaded. I don't see how it will help in this situation. If a low-res device happens to be a TV, then there is a media type 'tv'
which can be specified so the right CSS is used.
But CSS doesn't apply to the src of the img element. Just a quick look at CSS and I see that 'absolute' units are available
for specifying size, such as in, cm and mm. See: http://htmlhelp.com/reference/css/units.html
Adjusting the displayed size of the image is not an issue. The issue is how to deliver a high res / low res images depending on the resolution/screen size of the browser. Cheers, -- Tom Howard http://windyroad.org
