Image Resize Problem

In order to avoid creating multiple images on the server, I am scaling images
to fit a certain width using HTML (width=???). This is perfect for me because
if the user submits a large image I control the display. (a little longer
download time but still OK) But if the user uploads a small image, I do not
want it resized - example: http://www.cyads.com.cy/Electronics/item.asp?ID=18.
I know this can be done with just a little asp but I have tried so many
if...then...else which didn't work so I thought I should ask for help.
My current code is attached.
I am not a very well-versed asp programmer (self taught on the Internet) so
whenever I tried to put an <%if..then%> statement replacing the width = "300"
everything got distorted. At some point I made it but had a blue border line
and in trying to remove it I lost everything.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thank you.


<%Dim PicShow1
PicShow1 = tNG_showDynamicImage("../", "../ProdPhotos/",
"{rsItemElectronics.Photo1}")
IF PicShow1 = "../includes/tng/styles/img_not_found.gif" then %>
<div align="center"><font size="2" face="Arial, Helvetica,
sans-serif"><%response.Write(" ")%></font></div>
<%else%>
<a href="<%=tNG_showDynamicImage("../", "../ProdPhotos/",
"{rsItemElectronics.Photo1}")%>" onclick="return popImage(this.href,'Product
Info');">
<img src="<%=PicShow1%>" alt="Sold by
<%=(rsItemElectronics.Fields.Item("SellerName").Va lue)%>" </a>width = "300"
border="0"></a>
<%End If%>

I offer a free Server Behavior called "Image Bounds" (never updated it
beyond DW4, but will soon). You can take a look at its code however and
see how it handles this.

Thank you for your reply.
Although it seems "Image Bounds" will save me many headaches, I cannot use any
Server Behaviours because I have no access to the server. It must only be
client side scripting.
Also, it seems that all I need is a simple ASP code.
Thank you again.

If you're using ASP, you are using server-side scripting and can use server
behaviors.
