scaling images for different resolutions???

hey.
is there a way to tell dreamweaver to scale the indavidual images i have used
with hotspots to construct my site according to the different screen
resolutions that people will be using to navigate it?

i have been making them around 8-900 px high. is that huge?
is there a generic size that images should be so a majority of people can see
them?

working on a 15" macbook pro the images read well.
but i logged into the site from a pc downtown with an older monitor and it was
almost 4x too big.


cheers.
m.

Hi, I think that setting a percentage based width attributum to your images
could be an optiomal solution. There are different solutions to detect the
applied screen resolution and change the design properties in accordance with
the resolution, but I think the easiest will be to use percentage.

If course it will look _really_ ugly if the browser scales the images,
because the scaling algorithms in browsers are very simple and more
optimized for speed than for quality.

I think abandoning this idea is the best procedure. It's a genuine waste of
time.
