It is funny you put it this way, because if you truly need the resolution (of the image) then this is not the way to go. This is bacuse to have an image that would be shown full screen, AND to have the highest possible resolution fo the picture, you would have to upload hugh file sizes of images. Which would completly shut down anyone with a dialup connection, plus only a VERY small portion of the internet community still uses 640x480.
My advide would be to pic a size (anything with a 3 to 4 ratio) and stick with it. This way you could keep file sizes down and download times down, and have no problem with distortion.
If you dont care about all that stuff, I agree with CoolATIGuy.

Why? This is an enormous hassle with no benefit.
Pick a size. One that will fit on most monitors. Max width of about 750, max height about 450 will fit most 800x600 monitors. If it doesn't fit on 640x480, too bad. If it's a bit small on 1024x768, they'll survive. Most people with bigger monitors/higher res don't usually run the browser full screen anyhow.
This will NOT be a high res picture. It's not SUPPOSED to be. If you want high res, have them zipped and allow them to be downloaded and used on the local machine.

I Agree with webwoman.
Problem solved?

I agree with what has been posted, but there is a way to get the client's resolution and resize the image proportionally and display it by using Javascript. Keeping in mind that you would need a high res image in 1024x728 size, and when it is shrunk it would get distorted a little bit.
I have the same problem and i want to do this because I WANT TO DO THIS! so dont be a smart ass and tell me why i shouldnt do it because you probably just dont know how to.

I understand that you probably feel frustrated because you want to do something, and don't feel you are finding an acceptable answer. However, let's try to voice that in a kinder tone in the future, eh?

CoolATIGuy,
Your absolutely right. I could have formulated things a bit friendlyer but I was a bit frustrated at that time because I just think that people only give awnsers like webwomans to do interesting and really just dont know how to do this. In my opinion you must not react to a normal question if you dont have a solusion. My appologies to the people I may have offended but I really just want to be helped and if people cant help me or somebody else thats cool but just dont reply.

p.s. I dont want to use a different program. I want to use the image as a background in a main frame and I dont want it to tile up at a higher resolution.

I understand, and in some cases that makes sense. However, in others, a "no" answer or similar may be, while not a favorite, an answer of the same worth. It just doesn't look that way because we, as designers & coders, are *JUST LOOKING FOR A SOLUTION*...
So, anywho, let's see about your problem...
Have you tried using the css image background functions, and telling it not to tile?
