Can Javascript access native image size?

Question

I\'m writing a jQuery function where I\'d like to access both the native size of an image, and the size specified for it on the page. I\'d like to set a variable for each.

My solution would be to write a web service that gets/downloads the image, and then gets its resolution and returns it as {width: x,height:y}. Then you call it with $.ajax or equivalent to retrieve this.

Alternatively you could add the image to a hidden div using

// e.g. don't set width and height
$("#hiddendiv").html(""); 

And then get the div's width/height though I haven't tried it.
