[Pdx-pm] Browser window height, javascript, jquery

[Jonathan Leto]

Howdy,

The first google result for "jquery scale image" is
http://www.ollicle.com/eg/jquery/imagefit/ , which says it is "a
jQuery plugin which scales images to fit their parent container."

Looks like it could be what you want, but I have never tried it.

Good luck

Duke,
