Jquery resizing image

Viewed 173179

I'd like to start a discussion about the image resizing using jQuery.

That's my contribution: But I think I'm far away from the solution. What about the cropping? Who can help me?

$(document).ready(function() {
    $('.story-small img').each(function() {
    var maxWidth = 100; // Max width for the image
    var maxHeight = 100;    // Max height for the image
    var ratio = 0;  // Used for aspect ratio
    var width = $(this).width();    // Current image width
    var height = $(this).height();  // Current image height

    // Check if the current width is larger than the max
    if(width > maxWidth){
        ratio = maxWidth / width;   // get ratio for scaling image
        $(this).css("width", maxWidth); // Set new width
        $(this).css("height", height * ratio);  // Scale height based on ratio
        height = height * ratio;    // Reset height to match scaled image
    }

    // Check if current height is larger than max
    if(height > maxHeight){
        ratio = maxHeight / height; // get ratio for scaling image
        $(this).css("height", maxHeight);   // Set new height
        $(this).css("width", width * ratio);    // Scale width based on ratio
        width = width * ratio;    // Reset width to match scaled image
    }
});

});

A couple of suggestions:

  • Make this a function where you can pass in a max or min size, rather than hard-coding it; that will make it more reusable
  • If you use jQuery's .animate method, like .animate({width: maxWidth}), it should scale the other dimension for you automatically.
function resize() {resizeFrame(elemento, margin);};

jQuery.event.add(window, "load", resize);
jQuery.event.add(window, "resize", resize);
function resizeFrame(item, marge) {
  $(item).each(function() {
  var m = marge*2;
  var mw = $(window).width()-m; 
  var mh = $(window).height()-m;
  var w = $('img',this).width();
  var h = $('img',this).height();
  var mr = mh/mw;
  var cr = h/w;
  $('img',this).css({position:'absolute',minWidth:(w-w)+20,minHeight:(h-h)+20,margin:'auto',top:'0',right:'0',bottom:'0',left:'0',padding:marge});
    if(cr < mr){
        var r = mw/w;
        $('img',this).css({width: mw});
        $('img',this).css({height: h*r});
    }else if(cr > mr){
        var r = mh/h;
        $('img',this).css({height: mh});
        $('img',this).css({width: w*r});
    }
  });  
}
