Disabling Automatic Image Resizing

Hi

Is it somehow possible to disable (or get around) automatic image resizing
in IE? I've got a page where I dynamically generate an image with a height
of 1000 pixels and it's automatically resized to fit in the user's browser.
I don't want this. I want the user to scroll down to see the bottom part
of the image. Now, I don't want the user to change their browser settings
to disable the automatic resizing so can I somehow do something for my page
only? JavavScript, placing the image in an iframe, whatever? I just don't
want the image to be resized

In short, no it's not really doable.
You should use a graphics program to get the size you want and then
add the image to the site.

Are you sure it is in a page? I've never seen that behaviour, do you
have an example online?

This only happens when the image _is_ a "web page", an addressable
resource (i.e., with its own URL) and it is opened in a browser as such.
I want the user to scroll down
to see the bottom part of the image.

What if the user does want that and goes elsewhere?

Fine. The wouldn't do that anyway.

What they might do is that they click on the browser-supplied icon that
changes the image from shrunk to full-size or vice versa. Do you have a
problem with this flexibility? Too bad.

If you just embed the image in an HTML document using the <img> tag, it
won't be resized by IE. To me, this looks more like a problem than a
solution, for an image as high as 1000 pixels and probably rather wide
too. But you don't need anything more complicated than <img>.

That is the only way it can be done.

Nothing at all orthodox. You could ~possibly~ segment the image but that
would be a nightmare of convolution.
