Zoom not working 1

[glenmac]

I have a onclick event handler to try and zoom an image to twice it's size. By my way of thinking it should work but it doesn't!!. Can anyone tell me where my logic is messed up?

<img src="image.gif" style = "width:125; height:272;" alt="My Picture"onClick="this.style.width*2;this.style.height*2;">

All help greatly appreciated.

As a minor point, you need a space after your [alt] declaration and before your [onClick] declaration.

Try this:

onclick="h=this.height*2;w=this.width*2;this.style.width=w+'px';this.style.height=h+'px';"

(tested in Moz 1.8b and IE6).

You have to set the variables (h and w) to the desired value before changing the height or width, because Mozilla tries to restrain the ratio, so when you double the width, it automatically doubles the height. Otherwise, IE would double the height and width, whilst Moz would quadruple it.
