Preserved Topic: IE image resizing?

can IE or NS dynamically change the size of an image? if not, that would be a cool feature

IE can (Image.width, Image.height), but NN can't (at least not simply or quickly). Not sure about Mozilla.

IE can but NN can not.

Note this is the same as using HTML to resize an image so the quality is going to change with

This article while older discusses the method


And actually it can be done in NN by rewriting the HTML.
REmember it's not the best method but you can accomplish most tasks by dynamically rewriting the actual HTML however this is extremely processor intensive.

Either that, or you felt the need to reiterate what I said in more detail. =)

BTW, that rewriting the html trick in NN does resize the image, but it can't be done quickly multiple times, for like an animation or something, it just isn't fast enough. And it has to be in a layer by itself. If you don't mind those two conditions, then just document.write to the layer.

In IE5+ and Mozilla, you can use DOM to directly access image, like this:

<IMG SRC="max.jpg" WIDTH="100" HEIGHT="100" BORDER="0" ID="maxPic">

document.getElementById("maxPic").setAttribute("width", 200);
document.getElementById("maxPic").setAttribute("height", 200);

hhmmm.....interesting

setAttribute ?! Cool, never seen that before! That's neat... Is that in the w3c standard, or just a nice little thing IE and Mozilla simultaneously did?

setAttribute is a W3c standard

Mr. Max's code in an example: Resize example.

Which made me notice, Mr. Max - when you PREVIEW a page in HTML Beauty, it always opens a new window. How about an option to open in a new window or existing window?

That would require using DDE to open web browser and I don't want to use DDE (at least, not yet).
