Cropping an image?

Cropping an image?

Is there some way to crop an image file in HTML or Javascript? In other words, is there a way you can present a portion instead of the entire image? If possible, I would like to present differently cropped parts of the same image in a table. I would prefer not having to make a new file for each cropped image, as there will be quite a few of them.

Yes.

Investigate the clip, and overflow properties of a DIV element. This would allow you to show only portions of an image, and change those portions without reloading the image.

Thanks for this everso much!

I wish at least one of the five books I have on Javascript would have explained this to me. Ah well. Somebody needs to write a book about Programming for Artists, which skips all the dull, market-oriented stuff and gets straight to the fun stuff.

The O'Reilly books are good reference books.. Certainly the DHTML one, and the JavaScript one.
