Topic awaiting preservation: Reading Image Dimentions

I want to pop up a window that is exactly as big as the image it contains.

Is there any way for JS or some sort of DHTML magic to to read the image dimentions so I can input them as the height and width of the popup?

I really dont think so, but I suppose if you displayed the image in an invisible div and then got its width after theimage.complete you'd be able to have it then. But as for a command that reads anything server side in js, it doesnt really exist.

PS: Have a look at briggl's 'Image Display' quick tip (bottom left):

but you'd be better using something server-side like:

I didn't have a look at the code to see how he's done it yet, but Bugimus has a script on his site that will do the trick:

And apart from that, there's also a tutorial by Briggl at the GN:
