Hello all,



I'm in need of some help/suggestions concerning uploaded images and display 

size.



I'm working on an intranet activities site atm and when a person enters a 

new event they are allowed to upload an image that is associated with the 

event which is then displayed when a search through the activities is 

carried out.



My problem is getting some uniformity with image sizes. What I'm looking 

for is a clever alternative to saying "Please don't upload whopping great 

images cos it's going to ruin my beautifully laid out table". At the same 

time, tho, I can't set a fixed size for the image as there is no way that 

every uploaded image is going to look half decent at a certain width & 

height.



Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can handle this mess?!

Thanks in advance,

Clover

If you want to put the onus on the user, add two input boxes: one for 

image width and one for height.  Then put a note on the maximum for each.  

The user will need to fill in the boxes with the correct image size and 

then you can validate the maximums before uploading.  That way you can use 

the data to correctly size the image for best and fastest display.
