Correctly sizing picture

[Jonathan Blitz]

I have created a File Upload page.

When the user selects the picture from the computer I display on the page.

My problem is that pictures are of differant sizes and ratios.
I don't want to show the picture full size as it can be quite big - I need
to show a smaller version.

I tried to fix the size in the picture definition but then I lose the aspect
ratio.
What can I do?

What you want to do can't be achieved correctly without some server-side
programming. Yes, you can change the width and/or height attributes of an
image in a web page, but that doesn't change the size (in bytes) of the
actual image, nor does it affect the time it takes for the browser to
download it, which is based upon the size (in bytes) of the image file.

To do it with attributes (in case you don't want to or can't do server-side
programming), you set only ONE of the 2, height OR width attribute, and the
other will size proportionately.

To do it on the server requires ASP, ASP.Net, or some other server-side
programming technology, and a good bit of experience.
