Charlie, The short answer is"NO". The text will enlarge if required, but the img {max-width:96%} is the controlling factor, and that will display the image width as 96% of the viewport width - even when CTRL + is used.

Barry, I have another short answer -- "BUT" :-) I received an email off-list saying: >I use a 7" Kindle Fire (hand held), the photo sized correctly & I >was able to zoom larger to look at portions of the picture (faces). I knew it had to be too good to be true :-( So, I wonder if it depends on the device? This could be a nightmare. Do you know of a way through css how I can un-freeze the width? Thanks, Chas. Dobie.
