Lightweight jQuery extension for serving high-resolution images on desktop and mobile devices. Compatible with @2x, @3x, and @4x image varients, using Apple’s recommended naming convention for high-resolution graphics.
Include the latest version of jQuery and jQuery.imgx.js in the <head> of your HTML document:
<script src="jQuery.min.js"></script>
<script src="jQuery.imgx.js"></script>Reference the imgx() method and include @2x, @3x, or @4x image varients in the same directory as the original source. The script will automatically load the appropriate image(s) based on the display’s detected pixel density. See the live demo: code.bynathan.com/imgx
