I am trying to create a CSS Layout for a photography portfolio. The goal is to have site - images (optimized photographic images) and content enlarge and or contract according to users browsers not the specified W & H px.
I understand how to create flexible content (CSS and Non CSS) via html but how do you create flexible picture images? (Gif/png/jpeg?) Can this be done in Freeway? I’ve tried setting the images according to percentage and nothing. I’ve tried importing via html and nothing - especially since this is a pass through and uploads according to file. I’ve tried layers, gif, jpeg. I’ve looked for the past eight hours in the PDF handbook, and online - no luck. I need help. Thanks in advance.

This can only be done in two ways, and neither of them are ways I’d recommend.
First, if you hack the image height and width parameters so they
produce percentage scales rather than pixel ones (this may require
hand-coding) then they’ll scale according to their container. A can
o’ worms awaits you there!
Second, if you put the pictures into Flash SWF format and set the SWF
items to scale with the browser window, the images should scale with
them by default.
The problem here is that bitmap images (regardless of format, that’s
not relevant) will only look best at a 1:1 pixel-for-pixel size on
screen, and anything else (smaller or larger) won’t work as well.
Scaling bitmaps is done moderately frequently on photographer’s
sites, but I have always thought that looks really poor and is a
bad presentation of otherwise professional work.
