Question: viewing HTML shrunken images

Sparx — Fri, 21 Mar 2008 04:26:54 -0800

On the blue, delmoi pointed out that the images of an online comic had been shrunk via HTML to fit the page. Is there a greasemonkey script or something that would allow those images to be seen fullsize without having to think about it?

Right click - View Image

Unixrat: While that undoubtedly does the job, it also removes the navigation, which would become tiresome after multiple pages.

You could set your own style sheet for the site (there are a number of plugins that let you do that) and use this css:
img {height:100%;}

I use the ImageZoom add-on in FireFox to fix these types of problems.

Pic Lens is a project that mefi's own jeffamaphone is working on. If there's a media RSS feed, it should work, and sexily.

In response to another AskMe question a while ago, I wrote a bookmarklet that does just what you're asking for.

I cut'n'pasted a load of lines into a .html page, like this:

<img src="http://www.elfquest.com/gallery/OnlineComics/OQ/OQ01/oq01-3.jpg"/>
<img src="http://www.elfquest.com/gallery/OnlineComics/OQ/OQ01/oq01-4.jpg"/>
<img src="http://www.elfquest.com/gallery/OnlineComics/OQ/OQ01/oq01-5.jpg"/>

and dropped the html page into my browser. Ungainly, but you get one long page you can easily scroll down to read.

I also gave up after the second comic. That stuff was bad.

I was having the same trouble with the Elfquest site. I turned off the page's CSS (View > Page Style > No Style) and the images showed up full-size.

img {height:100%;}

Wouldn't that set the image height to the containing block, rather than to the full size of the image file?

Thanks for all the help, hive mind. Kryptondog did exactly what I needed, but zsazsa has made it into my favourites for being generally super useful.

Shade and sweet water to you all...
