#24586 — window.open allowing image to scale

FromAndrew Poulos <ap_prog@hotmail.com>
Date2014-06-03 13:11 +1000
Subjectwindow.open allowing image to scale
Message-ID<_oqdnbF7roH_oBDOnZ2dnUVZ_qudnZ2d@westnet.com.au>
I need to be able to popup a window to enable users to see the image 
they've selected. The simplest way I thought of using was to point 
window.open to the image itself.

This works but the image will rescale (at least it does in IE 9) if the 
popup window is resized to smaller than the image's "natural" size:

var myPop = window.open(
   "images/puzzle.jpg",
   "",
   "width=240,height=320,resizable,status=0"
);


Is there a way to keep the image from scaling?

To answer my own question, I just did this

var myPop = window.open("","","width=240,height=320,resizable,status=0);
myPop.document.open();
myPop.document.write("<img src='images/puzzle.jpg' alt=''>");
myPop.document.close();

and the image now doesn't scale when the window is made smaller than the 
image.

It should be: resizable=1

this .document.open() is not needed, it is implicit.

this .document.close() is not needed,
unless you want a second .document.write() 
to overwrite the document by inducing the implicit .open()

<https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Window.open>
says that

"NOTE: All features can be set to yes, 1 or just be present to
be 'on', set to no or 0 or in most cases just not present to be 'off'
example 'status=yes', 'status=1' and 'status' have identical results".

Does that note apply only to toolbar and chrome features and not to 
window functionality features?

I seem to remember the original [non-mozilla?] spec was different.

Perhaps the default "1" is cross-browser proven.

Only with HTML5:

<http://www.w3.org/TR/2014/CR-html5-20140204/webappapis.html#dom-document-write>

vs.

<http://www.w3.org/TR/2003/REC-DOM-Level-2-HTML-20030109/html.html#ID-75233634>

Wrong.  Because a script-created parser has no information about whether 
further content will be generated by script, the explicit document.close() 
is necessary to close the input stream for a document *created* with 
scripting.  Otherwise that document will load forever, and indicate that to 
the user by “wait”-shape pointer cursor.

No, a second document.write() call will send further content to the same 
input stream unless it has been closed.

Your statement

>>> this .document.close() is not needed,
>>> unless you want a second .document.write()
>>> to overwrite the document by inducing the implicit .open()

is wrong.  document.close() is needed here in any case.  document.write() 
does not necessarily “induce the implicit .open()”.  And obviously it makes 
no sense at all to issue a document.close() followed by a document.write().

IOW, you have been writing nonsense.  So much for understanding English.

No, but a prior document.close() does, as I wrote.

> followed by a document.close(). 

Perhaps to you, because you did not read correctly.
It is not the point if it makes sense, I described what happens.
Your postings often don't make sense, but thet are sent by you anyway.

However, as the document.close() before a document.write()
induces an implicit document.open(), it can be a way to 
clear the window for new html.

Obviously this makes some more sense, perhaps not to you,
when the destination is not the window the script is "on",
but not exclusively so.

> IOW, you have been writing nonsense.  So much for understanding English.

The first, quod non, does not imply 
that your understanding is that good, quod non,
your "obviously" already hinted at that, Thomas.

It is 85 characters long, has been wrapped by the automation, and 
is completely inoffensive. It is a pseudo-header that obeys all 
the standards for headers.

On the other hand, the header
Face: iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAADAAAAAwBAMAAAClLOS0AAAAGFBMVEXTxa4RFk5dUWANED8PFEfy7+MGBiW+n3ZNF/QuAAACaElEQVQ4jVXUwVOcMBQG8Dc7Rc4PUntdWV2uxjDpGaGeozOp1woar4jd5t/v9wLstMwsA/ntlxdCAgUc1hjTc9/JCZfGoo3wG3HdmdAWrIJRHe7GM/TmpY5VFefuVcAkkPbLIaN8rmPmjloyZxgyR3GuJ4K0AGtJ2htz8o7yqikm759fldQXaMpbDzjKAG+8v+AugVTOPO5DOjLvGtUYQwh0CPjnVMyGd+8/GfUB5nLKJDD2aLDh5HYyMDJGDwQIo2ZmZcKbowNmAdB/AzyFhrmF2MHRb0QJJfaAnwGB6orZhoykLzJtGwF/xpYxI1dswomiUj3gTuAIqCn/4C7cULwGNBtwMTk3Y4LfKB5YUaOKBKYtpplm7u0vip8tU1NWWyI/7XdcSuIDoMt6rVHMWT0DbjHPGqDqZVSa6zleLcUTcIKLoMv3ueJluALtAo9B302zPPlrtiVScRdCjXvVh3e3JpYa/jjkuC9N+LrBMlz/eAN4eQijX2EdLo6c5tGGHwLyHFtXk89dDGHwCVhG9T0S/j55AhRZgkMCmUQXJ49TnS1wnQDvw0eAh9ICeMmEFbCnPMFzjAvsWoEWEFdYEx+S0MoUZ1gT1wId8+AF3Bl2OoEu906AUHx5VLw/gXYg/x84loOah/2UYNrgiwSwGO7RfUzVBbx/kgpckumGOi6QirtD6gkLTitbnxNol47S2jVc2vsN5kPqaAHT8uUdAJM4v/DanjYOwmUjWznGfwB7sGtAtor5BgofDuzaRj4kSQAqDakTsKORa3Q3xKi3gE1fhl71KRMqrdZ2AWNNg/YOhQyrVBnb+i+nEg4bsDA+egAAAABJRU5ErkJggg==

An addition to Beachcomber's Dictionary for Today (Beachcomber wasn't
his "real" name, but no-one objects) :

Troll :
1  A foolish person who repeatedly objects to 85 character
attributions.

2  Anyone who disagrees with the foolish person.

If an 85 character attribution is supposed to be anti-social then how
can a 950 character unstandardised optional header be anything else?

To quote the FAQ[1]:

| It is also always in the best interest of any poster to the group to
| do everything within their power to behave in a way that makes it
| quick and easy for the people they expect to answer their questions
| to read and follow their posts, understand their questions and
| problems and comprehend and test posted code.

An (X-)Face header as well as a concise attribution line may be useful
to accomplish that goal, depending on the reader.

Neither of my news readers does anything with a Face header. 

In addition, putting a picture in the sig in a text-only news group

I'd rather get an unseen 950 character unstandardised optional header
