robert Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 Not a climbing website, but possibly a cool tool to enhance one. This page is an interesting little article on a java script that makes images grow and shrink when you click them. It even handles the reformatting of the page to maintain the look as the images chance size. Pretty cool I thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wfinley Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 That's pretty slick. easy to implement too. The downside is the main reason I do TN is b/c of the people on slow connections. This JS addresses the size issue but not the load time issue. Cool script regardless! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbb Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 well, you'll always pay the price if you want to show a big picture. however, I think (if I read close enough) that it doesn't start the preloading of the larger image until the user clicks on it....

wfinley Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 No - the image loaded is one size. It's the same as coding an 800 x 600 pic to display as 80x60 - it might display smaller but it still loads the same. File size and file bytes are different and cannot be adjusted without resaving.

wfinley Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 Oh yeah - you're right. I didn't look at the code close enough. Cool script... maybe I'll use it somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
