Question

hey guys,
my ie source code of an image says this:

<img width="1500" src="something.jpg" style="width:1265px" alt="something"/>

this means the image is actually 1500px wide and i’m dynamically resizing it to 1265px with jquery:

this is the code i’m using:

                    $(this).removeAttr('height');
                    $(this).width(bw);

in some version of ie this means it doesn’t actually show an image, probably due to the fact that there is a different width than the style attribute tells it to have.

I’m guessing $(this).width is transformed to style=”width:value” right?
how can i directly modify the width-attribute of the image dynamically width jquery?

regards matt

You can modify attributes with attr()

$(this).attr('width','1265');

or

$(this).attr({'width':'1265'});

if you want to set the style use css()

$(this).css('width','1265px');

or

$(this).css({'width':'1265px'});
