 * Hi everybody,
 * I need to get image dimensions of a wordpress image through javascript. Is there
   anyway I can do this or is there a way that wordpress automatically appends image
   dimensions to the uploaded image link?
 * so my code kind of looks like this:
 *     ```
       $('body').append('<img src="image.jpg" width="' + w + '" height="' + h + '" alt="" />');
       ```
   
 * Cheers!

 * Hi thanks Andrew. I’d rather though have a way to have in hardcoded in the uploaded
   image’s link since the img is otherwise allocated in the memory.

 * Sorry what?
 * The image has to be loaded for you to retrieve the dimensions. The `<a>` tag 
   surrounding it isn’t going to store any information about the image either.

 * Hi sorry did not get my point across. So let’s forget about the javascript. When
   I upload an image wordpress knows its dimensions. Lets say the image is called
   image.jpg . I now want wordpress to rename the image url to image-w-180-h-200.
   jpg for example (where the image has a width of 180 pixels and a height of 200
   pixels). That way I can retrieve these parameters with javascript and not preload
   the image.
    So basically this would be a server-side solution instead (which 
   seems better to me since we can’t get the image dimensions without preoloading
   it first).
