I have two different sized images, one if for screens smaller than 759px, the other is for screens larger than 759px.
I have managed to get the source of the images to change when the document loads depending on the window width. But I really would like to be able to do this when the browser is resized as well but for the life of me I can't get it to do that, it only seems to work when the page is initially loaded.
This is my code:
$(document).ready(function() {
function imageresize() {
var contentwidth = $(window).width();
if ((contentwidth) < '700'){
$('.fluidimage').each(function(){
var thisImg = $(this);
var newSrc = thisImg.attr('src').replace('x2', 'x1');
thisImg.attr('src', newSrc);
});
} else {
$('.fluidimage').each(function(){
var thisImg = $(this);
var newSrc = thisImg.attr('src').replace('x1', 'x2');
thisImg.attr('src', newSrc);
});
}
}
imageresize();//Triggers when document first loads
$(window).bind("resize", function(){//Adjusts image when browser resized
imageresize();
});
});
Try to use css3 media queries instead of doing it in jQuery or javascript.

Consider using "img-src" class on a . Whenever the screen is resized b/w 600px to 900px; x2.jpg will be loaded. By default x1.jpg will be used.
Ex:
.img-src {
background-image: url("http://imageurlhere.com/x1.jpg");
}
@media (min-device-width:600px) and (max-width:900px) {
.img-src {
background-image: url("http://imageurlhere.com/x2.jpg");
}
}
