Javascript image scaling
- Posted by Rob (#1) on March 30, 2007 14:11 CEST
If there's one feature I'd like for Javascript to be able to do is to scale images. And I don't mean dynamically adjusting width/height when displaying images, but actually changing the JPEG/PNG data into a smaller image for form uploads.
I've seen all too often that users of a CMS will upload an image straight from their digital camera or scanner and therefore submit a megabyte-sized file. It's easy to scale it on the server end (because most web sites won't display the image in full size), but wouldn't it be nice if it could be transformed on the client side first? It would save a lot bandwidth and upload time.
If anyone knows if this is possible, let me know.
