Responsive image replacement
Take a look and let me know what you think.
The mixin creates a background image that acts like a responsive image with max-width and an intrinsic ratio.
@mixin image-replace($width, $height, $image) {
$ratio: $height / $width * 100%;
display: block;
width: 100%;
max-width: $width;
height: 0;
padding: $ratio 0 0 0;
overflow: hidden;
background: url($image) center center no-repeat;
background-size: contain;
}
Browser support is set by background size, so no IE8 and no Opera mini. But that's what fallbacks are for.
Notes
It looks like this only works if it has a wrapper element that collapses to the width of the replaced element. Might still work with some tweaks though.
