[Javascript] Resizing images client-side

[Troy III Ajnej]

I used to like this this way of thinking, but past years is has become
a stereotype. Every jerk will come up and say just about that, don't
you think so? 
 
Some say:
> No, because it would be a major security issue. :-)
 
No,not at all!
 
There is nothing you can do with the contents of the image tag, except
display it (!your own image) on your own browser window, and after it gets
displayed and available (on your browser chache) you can retrieve the 
image size and other properties as with any other image, but nothing more!
 
What else could a malicious coder achieve with this?
 
--
For this solution, to become fully functional in practice, it is necesary 
to modify it in a proper way so the script would work in firefox also.
firefox will require a combined escaped version of the file address!

If I find time, I will look into this...
 
Regards and thank's for your feedback
