Plus I've never heard anyone express this desire before. So I feel comfortable ignoring this requirement. * Unless by "script" you mean using a high-performance JS engine and HTML5 <canvas> to rescale your image on the client using your preferred algorithm. That would be cool. Rob -- "He was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his wounds we are healed. We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own way; and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all." [Isaiah 53:5-6]
