Responsive Images with PHP and jQuery
Responsive Web Design is quite a hot topic at the moment and I'm only just starting to dip my toe in the area. It started gaining popularity with the Responsive Web Design article from A List Apart Article by Ethan Marcotte who has a book pending on the subject by A Book Apart. I'll definitely pick up a copy when it's released on the 7th June as the other books in the publishing series are useful and great to have on the shelf.
The main crux of Responsive Web Design is using CSS media queries to switch the layout depending on the screen size. A site can be optimized and look great on a mobile device, a tablet and on a PC without affecting content or by crazily creating subdomains for mobile only versions of the site. In this article I'm going to go whizz through the topic and concentrate on responsive images and the solutions currently in place and finally go through my own custom solution using PHP and jQuery.
