Someone told me today that their browser could read the Exif data of a
JPEG on the web. How is this done?

Dunno how in the browser. Some gallery software will display it. You
can also save the image to disk and then look with IrfanView or
whatever you like that can display the Exif.

Through a plug-in or javascript or such. Here's one:

Now that's slick. I'll bet that's what he meant.

Thanks

I believe there is an extension for Firefox that will do this, but it
requires, of course, that the image be loaded without stripping the EXIF
data to save file size... Unfortunately many .jpg pictures on the web
have been stripped, and resized to save space.
