If your pages include the HandheldFriendly META tag, your images will not be resized to fit within the maximum screen size for the platform. However, on Palm OS devices,
independent of screen size, images will be resized if it is necessary to fit within the Palm database (PDB) limit—see How M-Business Client processes images. On those devices, you could use this technique to get around the PDB size limit.
Before you continue, we should point out that the technique below has two bad side effects:
You are going to force many of your readers to scroll horizontally, which they generally dislike, and
If you go overboard with this technique, it is probably going to cause memory problems.
So I would recommend doing this only for your own personal custom channels or if you are absolutely sure your users really want this. In other words, do not use this technique to create a super-huge banner ad.
