In fact, it's not even clear how to define measurements in CSS pixels without choosing what size the image will be displayed at. If you're running with 1 CSS pixel = 2 device pixels, you could reasonably display an image at 1 image pixel = 1 CSS pixel (the likely default in most contexts) or 1 image pixel = 1 device pixel if you choose to scale it down to take advantage of the higher resolution. But then, you could scale it to any other size as well. Regards, Maciej
