There's work on 'stretch'. Read the draft to know more. So, you can use a tiny image to create a whole screen background by stretching it from the CSS... and save a lot of bandwith... In what possible way can you stretch an image, keep it looking good and save bandwidth? The only possible thing I can imagine can be done with 'repeat', so tell me what you actually want to achieve. -- Cheers, Rob. http://zooibaai.nl | http://digital-proof.org | http://chancecube.com ** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list getting help **

RE: [WSG] background image size in future CSS
Rob Mientjes But seriously, I have no idea what the use _can_ be. If the resized image is smoothed by the browser before being displayed, and the original image is only meant to be an abstract, mood type background, then this could be useful within reason. But yes, only useful in a few limited instances. Apart from that, I'd say the usefulnes of stretch will come with fairly good quality, large images, as a way of making them fit nicely if they only need to be resized a few percent up/down from their original size.

But seriously, I have no idea what the use _can_ be. Well, I can't make anything up at the moment, but it could be something like em-sized vecor logotype etc. -- Jan Brasna aka JohnyB :: www.alphanumeric.cz | www.janbrasna.com ** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list getting help **
