I would like to look into this some more, but I just landed another 2
jobs wh00t.. but anyway...
For someone who makes every effort to argue AGAINST cross browser, cross
res and w3c valid sites, you seem to be directing alot of your sites in
that direction - its good to see you finally took onboard what we have
been saying - good effort...
It will be good for resizing the bg images of sites, you could make some
very nice designs with it. One problem I imagine you will have though,
is animated gifs, so that might be worth looking into next.
What you could also do, to eliminate cookies etc, is to grab the
dimensions, bang a forward on the index to itself with the dimensions as
GET variables, if the variables exist, process the image, if not (get
them and fwd).
To overcome any limitations on resolution/sizing varieties, youre going
to need to come up with a method to resize more than just static images
- youve got flash, anim gifs, java applets, video streams etc etc,
otherwise youre going to limit yourself to just text/image sites - but
it is a step in the right direction.
How do you handle resizing of different ratio's?
