Providing different resolution images to accommodate different screen sizes

Using RoboHelp 11, can anyone describe the best approach for providing the same image, at varying resolutions, to accommodate different screen sizes? I think this can be done by modifying the CSS to recognise the screen resolution, and serve the appropriately-sized image. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks

No. It is the same image that gets resized on the fly. Open the sample and

generate a responsive output. There's an image in the retirement topic. Go

to that and keep resizing the window.

As long as the original is good enough for a full browser window, that's

all you need to worry about.

Use an HTML5 Responsive layout. The images change automatically. Take a look at Employee Care 3. Click Open on the RoboHelp Starter page and then click Samples in the ribbon on the left.

Thanks very much. Are different images displayed, depending on the screen size? If so, how would these be configured in RoboHelp? Our aim is to automatically provide a higher resolution image when a large screen size is detected.
