Getting image width and height with jquery

Question

I have a very simple code, which annoyingly was working and for the life of me I can not see why it is now failing:

function imageSize(img){
  var theImage =         


        

Answer 1

Ok - the previous answer I gave was invalid when I tested it on jsFiddle - I created this which does what you want though? Do you need to have the "new Image()" part? http://jsfiddle.net/R89Qr/3/ - gave the images some hardcoded dimensions...

I changed your code slightly, so that it does this:

 function imageSize(img){
  var theImage = new Image(); // ignoring this part when checking the image width/height
  theImage.src = img.attr('src');
  var imgwidth = $(img).width();
  var imgheight = $(img).height();

  alert(imgwidth+'-'+imgheight);
}

$('img').each(function(){
    var imgsrc = jQuery(this);
    imageSize(imgsrc);
});

You have to wait , till your image will be loaded , and then access to its sizes:

function imageSize(img){
  var theImage = new Image();
  theImage.onload = function(){
    var imgwidth = theImage.width;
    var imgheight = theImage.height;

    alert(imgwidth+'-'+imgheight);
  }
  theImage.src = img.attr('src');

}

The image may not have loaded yet. So, try (untested):

function imageSize(img){
  var theImage = new Image();
  $(theImage).load(function() {
    var imgwidth = this.width;
    var imgheight = this.height;

    alert(imgwidth+'-'+imgheight);
  });
  theImage.src = img.attr('src');
}
