can you check image file properties using javascript.

I have this script where you pass the a popup window the size that will fit the image so that it will be the same size as the picture. I was wondering if it is possible in javascript to check out the size of the picture so that I do not have to pass the size I want to the window. Is it possible?

Thanks for the imput.

The image needs to be loaded before you can access it's properties. So, it's not really possible to do it unless you want to load the image twice...

do you mean like preloading it? I am down to load them twice, I just need to know how. Do you have a script that might help me along?

MikoLone, is there any way you can post that script because I am looking for something like that.

Thanks

Actually, I think x_goose_x's example does the samething.

Thanks goose it works great.

I never thought about using %s for the width of the picture. Cool

Gecko makes this easy:

var newWin = window.open('bla.gif');
newWin.sizeToContent();

OR:

var image = new Image('bla.gif');
var newWin = window.open('bla.gif','','width=' + image.naturalWidth + ',height=' + image.naturalHeight);
