ASP picture width

Can Javascript read width/height pixels out of a file? I though JS can do any operations with the file system.

If this is correct, that JS can do it, than it's easy to get the dimessions to ASP vars, you could fill hidden fileds in a form with the JS values, submit it, and gracefully retrieve it with ASP.

Can you post some code on the JS get picture dimenssion?

Thx.

The above line: "I though JS can do any operations with the file system."
Should be: I though JS can't do any operations with the file system.

no, i cant use .net

Yes, there is a way :)

You can read the image's height, width, color dimension, and type with ASP. I spent about 3 months putting together a script that will upload, read, and resize proportinatly(sp?) on the fly. It was a bitch, but I got it to work, and it's PURE ASP...no com's...no .net.

Here's the kicker...it's so embedded in my site, that stripping it all out isn't really possible (and I'm trying to figure out a way to market this one...)

If you would like to see an example, go to http://www.BodyMod.org and click into one of the catagories. When you see a thumbnail that says there is no thumbnail, click it. Once inside, you'll see the scaled down image. Click on that to see the original.

If I get some time, I'll try to weed through my source and pull out the important pieces...
