Srcset and sizes attributes

The srcset and sizes attributes on img (or source) elements allow authors to define various image resources and "hints" that assist a user agent to determine the most appropriate image source to display (e.g. high-resolution displays, small monitors, etc).

Notes

1. Can be enabled in Firefox by setting the about:config preference dom.image.srcset.enabled to true

2. Supports the subset of the syntax for resolution switching (using the x descriptor), but not the full syntax that can be used with sizes (using the w descriptor).

3. Intermittently displays distorted images due to bug present (see known issues)

4. Does not support min/max expressions.

5. For JavaScript-generated img elements, loads src first, even if srcset will also make it load another image (see known issues)

Bugs

• Edge versions 13, 14 and 15 intermittently display distorted images as soon as they encounter a srcset attribute, seemingly dependent on caching and network timing. see bug

• Safari versions 11+ for img elements generated with JavaScript, when src attribute is first, loads that image even if srcset attribute will make it load another one. A workaround is to put srcset attribute before the src. see bug
