hello,

ok, i have this thing where i have images and i want to set a max width/height but if possible not like a exact one so it streches them

so i could have a maxheight 120 and a maxwidth 200 and if the image is say 110 X 300 it would make it would make it 200 width and then scale the height and not strech to 120

and similarly if i had a image that was 200 X 100 it would make it 120 height and scale the width

Do people know what i mean?

how would i do it?

Thanks

Through CSS, you couldn't. Max width and height don't extend to proportionate stretching.

For a purely client-side solution, the only thing that would work as even a partial solution would be Javascript. For a server-side solution...that depends on your language, but I think you'd have better luck that way.

So you want to constrain your image size but dont know whether your images will be portrait or landscape ???

Just give your image placeholder a designated height but no width and your images will fill the placeholder without deformation. Don't know if this what your after.

well i did that and most of the images were fine the scaled down.

but one or two which height was smaller than the constriant height scaled up and the width went huge...

You should be all right if you put your image within a div which has a fixed width and height to match the max width and height of the image.
