Images for the web

[venta]

Somebody must know the answer to this... a quick google didn't turn up anything sensible.

I have an image which is rather large - a couple of thousand pixels square. Ideally, I want to pop it in the middle of a webpage.

Now, I could guess at a minimum monitor size, resize the image, and away we go. But I was thinking: surely there's something more clever I can do, whereby those with large monitors get a sizeable image, and those with tiny monitors do not.

Is there?

If not, are there any sensible guidelines on max image sizes, etc?

There's probably something you can do with jQuery. Google throws up: http://buildinternet.com/2009/07/quick-tip-resizing-images-based-on-browser-window-size/
