How can I resize an image dynamically with CSS as the browser width/height changes?

by

This can be done with pure CSS and does not even require media queries.

To make the images flexible, simply add max-width:100% and height:auto. Image max-width:100% and height:auto works in IE7, but not in IE8 (yes, another weird IE bug). To fix this, you need to add width:auto\9 for IE8.

CSS:

img {
    max-width: 100%;
    height: auto;
    width: auto\9; /* ie8 */
}

And if you want to enforce a fixed max width of the image, just place it inside a container, for example:

<div style="max-width:500px;">
    <img src="..." />
</div>

JSFiddle example here. No JavaScript required. Works in latest versions of Chrome, Firefox and IE (which is all I’ve tested).
