Information
This demonstration is produced in collaboration with Román Cortés who came to me with the idea and a working demonstration that had a few flaws.
I have taken the code and restyled it to produce a version that now works in all modern browsers including IE6 and IE7.
The idea is based on the problem of how to fit images of unknown size into a fixed size containing box, such as used when uploading images for display without having to use javascript to find and manipulate the image size.
With this method an image that is smaller than the box size will be centerd horizontally, one that is the same size as the box will fit exactly, an image that is taller (portrait) than the box will shrink to fit the box height and will be centered horizontally and finally an image that is wider (lanscape) than the box will shrink to fit the box width.
