Yep. For active resizing, you'll want to call the function every x milliseconds to update your data. DOMs are a little trickier -- iirc, NS uses screen.availWidth whereas IE uses screen.width, so you'd have to write for both.

Although Suzanne is correct, I might add that resizing bitmaps per window area can work if it is used reasonably (not active resizing, only check onLoad). In this case, one could use GD or similar to resize the image for possibly improved quality. Still won't be terribly efficient, though.

For reference, allowing the browser to adjust the image will universally result in poor results if the image is a bitmapped image. If it's a vector image (Flash, et cetera), then the technology that displays them will adjust the images correspondingly without you needing to do anything.

...Just some considerations for you

just remember a lot of people disable javascript because of pop ups etc so don't rely on it

You can spin a script together that adjusts your image height with something like document.images['myimage'].width = screen.width * (factor_of_screen_width)
