fix image size without re-sizing
Solution 1
You could use CSS to set the size of the images in the slideshow without necessarily changing the aspect ratio of the image.
set the height of the image to the height of the slideshow container
make the width auto so it maintains its aspect ratio
set a max-width so it doesn't get wider than the slideshow
slideshow.img{ height:170px width:auto;/*maintain aspect ratio*/ max-width:500px; }
Note the images might be slimmer than the slideshow if the original size is small.
Solution 2
You should be able to use CSS's max-width
property. You won't want to specify the width or height if you do this.
Your HTML:
<div id="yourContainer">
<img src="imagePath" />
</div>
And your CSS:
#yourContainer {
width: 500px;
height: 170px;
}
#yourContainer img {
max-width: 100%;
max-height: 100%;
}
This won't centre your image inside of the container, but it should get the job done for you.
Solution 3
I have figured out how to accomplish image resize keeping aspect ratio and centering the image with simple piece of CSS code as follow:
width: auto !important; /*Keep the aspect ratio of the image*/
height: 140px !important;
margin: 0 auto 1em auto; /*Center the image*/
Hope this help someone :)

I have a
div
which iswidth:500px;
andheight:170px;
The
div
contains a jquery slideshow which gets random images from my database and displays them.Problem is that the images are uploaded by users and can be any aspect-ratio/any size.
I need the images to fit the
div
without being resized usingstyle='height:x; width:x;
Basically, I want all images to be displayed properly and in acutal quality.
I don't want to restrict which sizes of images can be uploaded as they as displayed in other parts of the site in full size/quality.
Can any provide a solution?
