IE6 image scaling with bicubic filter
- by thehuby
I have a project where I have to resize some images in the actual browser side.
IE8, FF3 et al all apply a filter to smooth the resizing of the image, so in these browsers everything looks good.
In IE7 I have applied the following fix which works great:
-ms-interpolation-mode:bicubic;
In IE6 however I can only find references to the AlphaImage Filter (the same one used to enable alpha transparency on PNG files). However I can't find an example of how to use it, nor have I been able to get it working myself.
Can anyone provide me with an example? Preferably applied to actual img tags, though I could use background images if required.
MSDN link (for what its worth): http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms532969%28VS.85%29.aspx
The code I am using in my CSS is applied to the img, though I've tried applying it to the img container as well (with no effect):
#provider-list li img {
filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.AlphaImageLoader(src="/image.gif", sizingMethod="scale");
}
A thousand thank you's in advance :)
