in reply to Can't automaticaly HTML-resize my images

If I'm reading your question (and HTML) right, you're creating (as esteemed monk merlyn points out) a dumbnail. Please don't let the browser resize your image. It will generally not look as good as an actual image resize and you'll be wasting bandwidth downloading a larger image than you want.

A good strategy is to pre-size your images to 3 or 4 standard sizes and then send the image you want. It's quite easy to to use something like Image::Magick to resize your images (in ratio) as you add images.

    The problem with that is finding a web host that has Image::Magic. Image::Magick is almost completely out of the minds of any web host you'll come by, and most will REFUSE to install it if you ask them to.

    I have no ability to resize and store more images, besides I have far more bandwidth than I do storage space so I can't make copies of all my images.

      So why not resize them before you upload them? That would save you storage space as well...  On your own machine, it should be easy to install ImageMagick or some other tool that is able to batch-resize images.
