An example of how to resize an image on the fly with javascript.

resize-image.js

// The function that scales an images with canvas then runs a callback.
function scaleImage(url, width, height, liElm, callback){
	var img = new Image(),
	width = width,
	height = height,
	callback;

	// When the images is loaded, resize it in canvas.
	img.onload = function(){
		var canvas = document.createElement("canvas"),
        ctx = canvas.getContext("2d");

        canvas.width = width;
        canvas.height= height;

        // draw the img into canvas
        ctx.drawImage(this, 0, 0, width, height);

        // Run the callback on what to do with the canvas element.
        callback(canvas, liElm);
	};

	img.src = url;
}

// List of imgur images
var images = ['u0s09PV','bdRlP3o','o7lwgZo','wvOjdUJ','D0lsDQz','sB46sHZ','nvRcyJM'],
imagesList = document.getElementById('imagesList');

// Loop through the images.
for(i in images){
	// make an li we can use in the callback.
	liElm = document.createElement('li');
	
	// append the currently empty li into the ul.
	imagesList.appendChild(liElm);

	scaleImage('http://i.imgur.com/'+images[i]+'.jpg', 150, 150, liElm, function(canvas, liElm){
		// Append the canvas element to the li.
		liElm.appendChild(canvas);
	});
}

It works? how to use it in an HTML page?

proportional resizing would be a nice addition
