You can specify the image size in % via CSS (WIDTH and HEIGHT attributes for
the IMG element are always in px).

I would not recommend to do so though. Scaling algorithms of browsers are
usually a PITA and anything except the unscaled image looks like crap.

BTW: Scaling background images is not yet possible. It will come with CSS3
and some browsers may even implement it (or have a similar proprietary
extension of their own), but CSS3 is still draft and details may change.
