i totally agree with Claude: unless there is a better reason to not have thumbnail-sized images, you should not tax your server with all the cfimage resizing - it is a very memory-intensive operation. i use this on-the-fly functionality on one of the sites to add a watermark to a large-size preview image for non-registered viewers. but i definitely would not use this to create and display thumbnails...
but... if you are set in your way, look at imageUtils cfc on riaforge - Ray & Ben & Co have made a great job with it. it includes a custom imagewritetobrowser function that can add alt, style and lots of other html attributes to the img tag it produces.
