Hey guys I have been doing some exercises in my frontend track. I need help in making images scalable with screen size.

What CSS attributes are suitable for responsiveness of images. Can you use percentage in sizing images

Hello

Check out this site concerning responsive web images.

Scale both up and down

.responsive {
    width: 100%;
    height: auto;
}

scale down if it has too but never up or larger than max size

.responsive {
    max-width: 100%;
    height: auto;
}

if you want to restrict the size that the image can scale too

.responsive {
    width: 100%;
    max-width: 400px;
    height: auto;
}

Hope this helps.
