It would be wonderful if I am wrong, but I don't think you can get the image
dimensions via JavaScript.  But you don't need to...

<style>
a.preview {
  max-width: 200px;
  max-height: 200px;
}
</style>

This will force the image to fit within a 200px by 200px window without
altering the image aspect ratio.
