How Do I Get Dynamically Fluid Images Depending On Browser Window Aspect Ratio?

This might not be a simple question, but I try my best. I have this example site: http://lotvonen.tumblr.com/ I have a little piece of javascript that automatically calculates the

Solution 1:

You could also get the aspect in javascript on a regular basis and then add a class to the body object that would specify if it was 4:3, widescreen, or portrait. Then make it run on an interval in case the window changes size.

Example

CSS

.43 img { width: auto; }
.widescreen img { width: 100%; }
.portrait img { height: 100%; }

JavaScript

var getAspect = function(){
    var h = window.innerHeight;
    var w = window.innerWidth;
    var aspect = w / h;

    var 43 = 4 / 3;
    var cssClass = "";

    if (aspect > 43) {
        cssClass = "widescreen";
    }
    else if (aspect === 43) {
        cssClass = "43";
    }
    else {
        cssClass = "portrait";
    }

    $("body").addClass(cssClass); // Using jQuery here, but it can be done without it
};

var checkAspect = setInterval(getAspect, 2000);

Solution 2:

I would suggest getting the aspect ratio first in javascript. Use window.innerHeight and windows.innerWidth, and make the necessary division. Then, make this a condition. When the screen in wider than its height, set the image in css to width: 100%. Otherwise, set height: 100%.
