[thelist] Use of Thumbnails

I have a photoalbum
(http://www.palmisanonet.com/photoalbum/images.asp)
that currently uses thumbnail-sized images and full-sized images, and Id
like to get away from housing two images to do one job.

Is there a way to specify that the original image be displayed at a
percentage of its original width and height instead of creating two of every
image?
I know I can set each image to a static height and width, but what about a
percentage?

Currently if I use <IMG SRC="image.jpg" HEIGHT="50%" WIDTH="50%"> I see no
thumbnails at all, and if I set them all to a static h/w those not perfectly
square are too hard to make out.
Am I better off creating the thumbnails manually, or can I dynamically
resize the originals to act as thumbs?

Thanks.
