    Hello. I'm trying to make the images in this example responsive without success. Is it possible in HTML/CSS with this image replacement method or do you recommend another technique?

    <!DOCTYPE html>
    <html lang="es"><head>
    <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"><meta charset="utf-8">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width,height=device-height,initial-scale=1.0">
    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="screen.css" media="screen,projection,tv">
    
    <title>
        My site   
    </title>
    
    </head><body>
    
    <div id="top"><div class="widthWrapper">
        <h1>
            <a href="/">My site<span></span></a>
        </h1>
       
        <div id="foo">
            Foo graphic<span></span>
        </div>
       
    <!-- .widthWrapper,#top --></div></div>
    
    </body></html>
    HTML:
    /* null margins and padding to give good cross-browser baseline */
    html,body,address,blockquote,div,
    form,fieldset,caption,
    h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,
    hr,ul,li,ol,ul,

        padding:0;
    }
    
    img, fieldset {
        border:none;
    }
    
    hr {
        display:none;
        /*
            HR in my code are for semantic breaks in topic/section, NOT
            style/presentation, so hide them from screen.css users
        */
    }
    
    @media (max-width:512px) {

    I really dont see any img tag in your html code, but what I understand is you want an image to be responsive, so for the purpose of a responsive image, you might want to try this code.

    <!DOCTYPE html>
    <html lang="es"><head>
    <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"><meta charset="utf-8">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width,height=device-height,initial-scale=1.0">
    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="screen.css" media="screen,projection,tv">
    
    <title>
        My site  
    </title>
    
    </head>
    <style>
    
    img{
    max-width:665px;
    width:100%;
    }
    </style>
    <body>
    
    <div id="top"><div class="widthWrapper">
        <h1>
            <a href="/">My site<span></span></a>
        </h1>
      
        <div id="foo">
            <img src="http://img-9gag-fun.9cache.com/photo/a0pq4vX_700b.jpg">
        </div>
      
    <!-- .widthWrapper,#top --></div></div>
    
    </body></html>
    
    Code (markup):

    To simplify it, You only need this on your css code.

    img{
    max-width:665px; /** this depends on what is the size of the original image**/
    width:100%;
    }
    Code (markup):

    Thank you. I want to make the image responsive via image replacement with CSS. Not sure if it's viable or could be better to use smaller images for small screen sizes.
