Truck Pic Click Test

Post by **Phineus** » Thu Sep 25, 2003 6:51 pm

The trouble with allowing visitors to upload pics for their creations is that they don't always upload using the same size pic (640x480)... which, if I force width and height dimensions, can result in pictures being distorted, or if I don't, they either don't fill the window or get cut off. So, I came up with a trick to resize the window to fit. Please give it a try and see if you have any problem with it. There's a couple sample's near the top.

Nice trick, works great from here. One little note, the border along the bottom of each image is about three times the width of the top and sides.

> the border along the bottom

.. leaves room for the status bar, which I usually have on ;-)

that's what I thought, that or a close button.

Not complaining but thought I'd let ya know things have been bumpy around here today, seems ok now tho, probably just traffic :o)

Yea, I noticed around 4 to 5pm it was a bit slow. I checked the stats and we've had a couple days this month where we hit a gig of transfer per day. That's a lot for only one network card... and cable users downloading with file managers too. (btw, I noticed trackshots in the top 10 :o)

Works great, images popped right to center after loading.
