Menu
i'm currently trying to make an image resize depending on the browser dimensions. I've managed to get the image to resize horizontally, if I make the browser window narrow the image will resize proportionally just fine. However when I resize the window vertically, Firefox just doesn't seem to want to do it! The code is pretty simple
<body>
<div id="content">
<img src="images/abc.jpg">
</div>
</body>
and the CSS:
#content {
height: 100%;
padding: 50px;
}
#content img{
max-height:100%;
max-width: 100%;
}
Another issue is that the image does seem to resize vertically in chrome, but i have to drag the bottom of the browser well over the image before it start doing this. I'd rather the image start to rezise as soon as the bottom content padding "hits" the bottom of the image so to speak. Hope this is making sense.
Any help much appreciated

max-width overrides width , but min-width overrides max-width .
To make an image responsive, you need to give a new value to its width property. Then the height of the image will adjust itself automatically. The important thing to know is that you should always use relative units for the width property like percentage, rather than absolute ones like pixels.
The max-width property defines the maximum width of an element. If the content is larger than the maximum width, it will automatically change the height of the element. If the content is smaller than the maximum width, the max-width property has no effect.
One of the simplest ways to resize an image in the HTML is using the height and width attributes on the img tag. These values specify the height and width of the image element. The values are set in px i.e. CSS pixels. For example, the original image is 640×960.
try this, taken from Twitter bootstrap 2
html,body{height:100%;}
#content {padding: 5%;}
#content img {
max-height: 100%;/* Part 1: Set a maxium relative to the parent */
width: auto\9;
/* IE7-8 need help adjusting responsive images */
max-width: auto;
/* Part 2: Scale the height according to the width, otherwise you get stretching */
vertical-align: middle;
border: 0;
-ms-interpolation-mode: bicubic;
}
Because height could potentially go on forever, you cant set the height of anything relative to the browser window to be a function of percent. What i'm saying is that you will need to put it inside of something with a fixed height to use a per-cent value. Good Luck!
