WP Fluid Images

WP Fluid Images removes the fixed width and height attributes from the image tag from images that are uploaded to posts and pages. Normally these images are uploaded with fixed values for the width and height attributes. This plugin loads a jQuery script that examines the .post or .page divs for image tags and calculates the image’s width as a percentage of the .post or .page div. It then removes the width and height attributes and adds a style attribute with a width value set to the calculated percentage.
