Responsive images are here. Now what?
•
0 recomendaciones•955 vistas
The document discusses responsive images and issues around their implementation. It begins by outlining the new <picture> element and srcset/sizes attributes that allow images to adapt based on screen size and resolution. It then discusses challenges like managing many images, the need for image breakpoints to determine appropriate file sizes, and the tension between responsive images and the browser's lookahead parser. Overall, the document examines both the promise and difficulties of responsive images on the modern web.

- 104. In the responsive layouts I’ve worked on, content image sizes and their breakpoints were chosen for completely different reasons than the design (CSS) breakpoints: the former for sensible jumps in file size to match screen dimension and/or density, and the latter for how content modules are visibly designed at given viewport dimensions. —Scott Jehl, Filament Group http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-whatwg-archive/2012May/0613.html “

- 118. Questions to ask about images Where are the source files and what is the process for publishing? Is there a big difference between smallest and largest image size? Resolution switching or art direction? Can we use SVG? Are there representative images we can use to find sensible jumps in file sizes for our image breakpoints? Do we want to support multiple image formats?
