Features

This plugin emulates the proposed HTML5 <picture> element. It allows multiple sizes of an image to be specified that target different screen resolutions and devices.

CSS media queries are used to determine which image is displayed. As a result the plugin only works in modern browers that support CSS media queries. Browsers that don't support media queries display the image from the <div [data-src]> element with no data-media attribute set.

Usage

Add the wet-boew-responsiveimg CSS class to any element on your page. This will trigger the plugin, which in turn uses the Picturefill library to create the responsive image(s).

Markup

The following creates a single responsive image using a min-width media query:

<div data-picture="data-picture" data-alt="Alt text" class="wet-boew-responsiveimg">
   <!-- Default image: <div [data-src]> with no data-media
        attribute is displayed when:
        1. None of the other <div [data-src]> media queries match.
        2. The browser doesn't support media queries  -->
   <div data-src="large.jpg"></div>

   <!-- Images for browsers with CSS media query support -->
   <div data-src="small.jpg" data-media="(min-width: 0px)"></div>
   <div data-src="medium.jpg" data-media="(min-width: 500px)"></div>
   <div data-src="large.jpg" data-media="(min-width: 960px)"></div>
   <div data-src="extralarge.jpg" data-media="(min-width: 1200px)"></div>

   <!-- Fallback content for non-JS browsers. -->
   <noscript><img src="large.jpg" alt="Alt text"></noscript>
</div>
Data Attributes
Attribute Purpose
data-picture Identifies the <div> as a responsive image.
data-alt Alternate text that will be used for the image's alt attribute.
data-src Path to the image.
data-media CSS media query that determines when the image source is used. If not specified, this is the default image to display for browsers that don't support CSS media queries.

Examples

Browser Width

This example uses min-width to determine which image should be displayed. Resize the browser window to see the different images load.

   <!-- Fallback content for non-JS browsers. -->
   <noscript><img src="images/parliament-hill-large.jpg" alt="Parliament Hill"/></noscript>
</div>

High Pixel Density

This example uses two media queries to serve high resolution images to devices that will benefit from them (i.e. Retina displays).
