Macro Monday – a new macro to dig into every Monday!
Quickly add image dimensions to an `` tag based off the image tags src
attribute. Everyone wants it, now you’ve got it.
## The Things I Need
How often have you entered an image tags src attribute and thought “GO!… Fill it
in… Please..”? I know I have. At least twice.
Others have had similar thoughts and one such user [requested this of Komodo](https://community.www.activestate.com/forum/html-editing-img-tag-expansion-etc#comment-6695)
some time ago. EricP answered the call and gave the user something that worked.
It uses the [Image() object](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Guide/HTML/Canvas_tutorial/Using_images#Creating_an_image_from_scratch)
in Javascript that allows us to load the image then pulls some information
from it and use it to append *height* and *width* attributes to the image tag
you’re working in.
I’ve updated it to use the *load* event to be sure the image is ready when I pull
properties off of it. I’ve also created a full path for the image which
[ToddW](http://komodoide.com/authors/#ToddWhiteman) says will bite me in the @$$ later but only time will tell.
