Thanks. Actually the code

function imageheight() {
   var i;
   for (i = 0; i < document.images.length; i += 1) {
     if (document.images[i].height === 600) { // portrait images height
       document.images[i].height =
         document.documentElement.clientHeight - 42; //padding + border
     }
   }
}
works OK with Firefox. Since the issue is not crucial, a note to the 
effect that "This webpage is best viewed with Firefox" should do until 
they standardize and/or implement the property.
