Resize Large Images

[hedidit]

Hi all,

I'm using ASP to upload images to my website, problem is some of the images are very large (they're from digital camreas).

The images are shown in a popup window from ym site but some of the larger images don't fit in the popup, i tried setting the width of the image on the page so that they all fitted in BUT some of the pictures are smaller and so are stretched out!

Can anyone tell me how to resize images to fit on the page available?

Cheers in advance

In your popup window, assuming the images are in an <img> tag, set the width and height properties in the tag itself, the image will stretch and shrink to fit the size specified:

<img src="picture.gif" [!]width="13"[/!] [!]height="20"[/!] alt="" />

This will work as is if all the images have the same dimensions, if they don't you can still make it work adding some ASP.

If you want to get fancy you can detect the image size and then calculate the reduced dimensions for your popup.
There is a FAQ by BillyRayPreachersSon on detecting the image size from client-side script. There are ways of accomplishing this server-side though I have not seen code to do it.

Once you know the images dimensions you can calculate the best fit dimensions for the reduced image without distorting it's aspect.
