Hi I am fairly new to JS and this is driving me crazy!! If you view the properties of a jpg image you can add Title Keywords Subject Comment details etc. I have several images where I store details about the photo in the comments box. Is there any way with JS to read and display these properties. ie what is in the comments box.
 
This is called (IIRC) "EXIF" information, which can be retrieved, but AFAIK, not using JS.

There are Java (and other server-side) libraries to do the job, so maybe you could pass that data through to the client-side?

Hope this helps,
Dan
