• Reload the app in differently sized browser windows to see the browser load different images and use different layouts at different browser sizes.

• Checkout index.html for the code that makes this work:

<img src="flower.jpg"
  srcset="flower-small.jpg 480w, flower-large.jpg 800w"
  sizes="(max-width: 480px) 100vw, (max-width: 1024px) 50vw, 800px">

What's going on here?

The value of the sizes attribute dictates that image display width will be: "100% of the viewport width" on viewports up to 480px wide, "50% of the viewport width" on screens 481–1024px wide, and 800px on screens wider than 1024px. These widths match the widths specified in the CSS.

The ability to specify multiple slot widths accommodates page layouts that use different styling (that is, image widths) for different viewport sizes.

How to specify multiple slot widths

• Use a comma-separated list to specify multiple slot widths. Each list item, except for the last item, consists of a media condition (e.g. max-width or min-width) and a slot width.

• The last item in this list is the default slot width. It is the default, so you do not need to specify a media condition.

• You can list as many slot widths as you want - the number of images listed in srcset does not matter.

• Slot width can be specified using a variety of units. The following are all valid widths:

• 100px

• 33vw

• 20em

• calc(50vw-10px)

The following is not a valid width:

• 25% (percentages cannot be used with the sizes attribute)
