Javascript Image Resize

Question

Does anyone know how to resize images proportionally using JavaScript?

I have tried to modify the DOM by adding attributes height and width

Answer 1

To modify an image proportionally, simply only alter one of the width/height css properties, leave the other set to auto.

image.style.width = '50%'
image.style.height = 'auto'

This will ensure that its aspect ratio remains the same.

Bear in mind that browsers tend to suck at resizing images nicely - you'll probably find that your resized image looks horrible.
