Hey James, Thanks for the advice. That's close, but not quite there. It does now pull the height from the correct image, but there's a noticeable delay that I've got to get around.
See example here: http://wilsonmcguire.com/eebuild/index.php?/work Click on some of the options on the right, and you'll see the new image fade in, and then jump down into place. Any way to have the CSS change prior to the image loading in?
