I’ve written a nice plugin had resizes images using jQuery but things have moved on a lot since. The plugin is mainly there for Internet Explorer 6! If you do not need to support IE6, then there is a method available that does not need JavaScript or jQuery at all.

Here is a working example:

I’ve finally got around to updating the jQuery Image Resize plugin and pleased to get it working with jQuery 1.9+.

The plugin is also hosted on the new jQuery Plugins website: http://plugins.jquery.com/ae.image.resize/

I’ve also started using UglifyJS at it reduces the minified version to less than 0.5KB!

As usual, if you find any bugs, specially regarding IE, please do report them on github.

If for any reason you do not use github (seriously?!), then drop me a line on twitter, ideally with a jsfiddle example: @adeelejaz

As jQuery has removed $.browser from the versions > 1.9.0, I found myself extracting it to be used in my own projects that depended on the feature.

jQuery does provide jQuery Migrate plugin which includes the following code, but it also includes a lot of other things you might not need. I saw a couple of requests on the official blog and thought I’d put this live in case it helps anyone else.

Note: I highly recommend using tools like Modernizr for feature detection. Only use $.browser if you really need to detect the browser vendor!

This has been long time coming. This small update fixes a very weird bug in IE9. For some odd reason, IE9 does not fire load event regardless of image load state. A simple solution was to set the image’s src property again.
