Cache the image. That snippet of code adds just about 1% load to the server, and gives you about 100% compatibility with all browsers that render html correctly. Javascript can gracefully bow out when you program it correctly to, but what you didn't mention is that if it DOES bow out because javascript is turned off, you also don't get the benefit of it's fruit.

Also iexplorer's rendering engine reisizes images grainily. phpcopyresampled looks niiiice

You're failing to get my main point here... The PHP version uses JavaScript too. I was merely stating that since he's using JavaScript to begin with, why bother taxing the server?

Isn't that pretty obvious though? The way I said JavaScript should be used is to enhance the design when it can. If it can't be used, you're still presenting something decent.

I'm not sure what IE's resizing has to do with anything.

Honestly, you've been intelligent on this forum except this thread. I don't quite understand why...

oh. honestly i didn't even read it. I just saw a php vs javascript option. if the php version uses javascript too, then then choice is clear.

Ok, cool. I'll take you out of my questional intelligence list again.

yeah I'm just being stupid. Because resolution information is regularly sent to php in the header information.. oh wait no it's not. crap.
