1. A method for providing images to a client computer over a computer network, comprising:
- receiving a request from the client computer to an image server for an image;
determining a characterization of a display element in the client computer using two or more characteristics, wherein the characterizing comprises analyzing a relationship between the two or more characteristics, and adjusting the requested image for display on the client computer based on the characterizing;
when the two or more characteristics are unavailable, determining the unavailability of client computer image display characteristics to the image server and selecting a set of default image display characteristics to adjust the requested image in accordance with the set of default characteristics for display on the client computer, the set of default image display characteristics being unrelated to the image display characteristics of the client computer.
