@ i4004: if you are asking if IE and FF can resize text and picture correctly the answer is yes.

IE6 could resize text but no pictures.

Re: browser image resizing_ie6-opera9-firefox2

i showed image resizing is crappy on ie6 and ff2, so i wasn't asking that.
i was wondering what code is toasty talking about.

IFCC code in the page source.

Firefox 3 and Safari are the two browsers closest to being standards-adherent. IE6 is notorious for deviation, and numerous hacks are in place as work arounds. MS neither controls the standards, nor adheres to them. IE7 is somewhat better, but not much.

Evidently Firefox is the platform of choice used by most developers. The new code must be regression-tested on IE6 and other non-standard platforms, or you get the results shown above. I shifted to Firefox 3, and used Topcat's performance tweaks... 100% happy with Firefox.

Examination of the site code and CSS might reveal coding errors from using fixed points instead of ems, etc.

Re: browser image resizing_ie6-opera9-firefox2

i don't get it.
are you saying html code can influence what resizer is browser using?
uhm..that would be pretty weird.

also, i've just showed it's bad on ff2 too.
i think it boils down to what resizer dev decides to use....ff2 and ie6 use resizers that look bad.

perhaps i wasn't clear enough: on ie6 and ff2 images notice how jaggy diagonal and oval lines are(notice monitor, headphones, cds stack).
and notice how much better opera looks.

how do i even know about resizing?
because it's often used in video....and i do a lot of that.

so it's not abut standards adherence(where indeed it's the truth what you say about ie6 being rogue, ie7 somewhat less rogue, and ie8 will probably be ok) but just the quality of image resizing.
