I am looking for ideas or a script that will allow me to disable auto image resizing in the web page viewer's browser temporarily.

The general user for this site is not a very educated web user, not very experienced and doesn't understand that when an image comes up in the browser window the browser (unless disabled in prefs) will automatically resize the image to the size of the browser window. The option does exists for the user to simply click on the image and it will scale full size, but feedback from users has determined that the vast majority do not understand this concept.

Because the nature of the information is text and graphic based (a floorplan) it is virtually impossible to read scaled at any dimension under 90%.

Is there a solution anyone knows for this, I have searched tirelessly for hours and can only find forums discussing the auto image resize feature, but no scripts to disable. Thanks in advance.

if they are viewing the actual image in their browser it is impossible. the resizing is part of the browser's settings. to have it full size just put it in a webpage with an absolute width and height.

Thanks, I was hoping I could find a java script but also thought it would be a security problem and difficult if not impossible to find. This solution is a good one though and shouldn't require too much time to implement, thanks.
