What I meant is, when you resize an image through the properties of an <img>-tag (width and height) or through CSS/DHTML the actual file size will not change. Which means, the loading of the image will take as long as it took before. But since you are all "local", no worries.

I got you! Overall that sounds like a pretty smooth job. I'm jealous.

Yeah, it will.

P.S.
Totally unrelated: I went to a "security" seminar/intro which was held by MS at Cebit (huge IT-fair in Hannover, Germany) over the weekend, and I fell asleep.
