How to resize <IMG> width absolute and height relative ?

As well known for <IMG ...> tags in web pages a width and a height attribute can be
applied. What I want to do now is to fix the width for ALL the images on my web page
to exactly lets say 70 pixel regardless how big the originals are.

The height should be adjusted proportional so that the resulting thumbnail is not distorted.
But as far as I know there is no such attribute like

<IMG SRC=...... WIDTH=70 HEIGHT="Adjust proportional to Width"> ....

How can I solve this problem ?

As a second best solution I could accept if I could write percentage values:


<IMG SRC=..... WIDTH=50% HEIGHT=50%>

but this doesn't work too.

You can use a server-side solution, such as PHP to do the maths. Off the top
of my head, if you know the original image width and heght (if not, no
problems as you can get them using PHP) something like the following should
work;

<? php

$desiredwidth = 70;
$originalwidth = 100; // replace originalwidth and originalheight with
whatever the image dimensions are...
$originalheight = 200; // ... or find a better way of getting them!

$ratio = $originalwidth / $desiredwidth;
$desiredheight = $originalheight / $ratio;

print("<img src=\"whatever.jpg\" width=\"$desiredwidth\"
height=\"$desiredheight\" alt=\"whatever\">\n");
I haven't thoroughly checked this, so the maths may be wrong! But it still
shows a way to do it.

Remember, though, that if an original image is smaller than 70 pixels wide,
then this may result in distortion of the image as it will be stretched.
Remember also that this is a bad way to make thumbnails of large images, as
the full size image file still has to be loaded, regardless of how small you
are making it appear on the screen.

Hope that helps,
Nige
