Those will be miffed as the quality of HTML resized images is crap, as
there is no real resampling...

I wouldn't do it. 
However:
Your code works, but you define the height in the CSS and you change
the HTML attribute.
To make both change, you need to set the style.height attribute aswell. 

i.height = h;   // HTML attribute
i.style.height=h; // CSS style
