How to resize images with the browser window?

Hi, I’m making a portfolio layout with images in a list (grid view), and I’m working with an fixed-fluid width on my #wrapper (max-width: 1075px; min-width: 960px; ). This works fine as long as I’m showing full width, but when I’m resizing the browser window the img thumbs floats down an leave a gap on the right side (the <li> is set to float:left; ) (as well as it should).

But this is not the effect I’m after, I want the img thumbs to resize with the browser window, and I have managed to do that width CSS (example: width: 28.1%; ). But I want a hover effect with text over the images (and that makes a mess out of %), so now I’m looking for a script that can do the resizing for me because I can’t use % on the image if I want that effect; and that I DO!

So do anybody knows about a script that can help me with my problem?

Specifics:

  • I’m no wizard in .js so it would be fine if it is well documented on how to implement :slight_smile:
  • It should be possible to direct to only img with a certain class (don’t want all my images to go bananas when resizing :wink: )
  • Maybe control image size in css?
  • And of course keep correct image dimensions!
  • I’m not sure if this matters but; this portfolio is going to be implemented in WordPress.

I would bee very grateful for all help and tips on the matter, because this problem makes me kinda crazy :rofl:!

Also:
I come over this gallery when I was searching after a solution, so here you can see an example on what I want (it also almost have the hover effect I want in mine to), resize your browser window and see the effect: http://bestwebgallery.com

I hope I have explained what I’m after clearly enough, my English (writing) is sadly not the best.

Kind regard from a designer who isn’t crazy (yet)!

Hi, thanks for answering :slight_smile:

I think it is one of the methods I have tried, but I have tried so many things that I’m not quite sure, shall give it a try again and see whats happening…

:slight_smile:

Have you tried setting the 28% width on the image containers and then setting the image width to 100%, if you then also set the container to be position:relative; you should be able to absolutely position your hover text.

It works, now the portfolio works perfectly :slight_smile: THAN YOU!!!
