use imagemagick and a shell script.
identify -format "[\"%f\",%w,%h]\n" *.jpg
should give you the JS arrays, one per line. You can pipe this into a
text file using f.e.
identify -format "[\"%f\",%w,%h];\n" *.jpg > arrays.js
See http://www.imagemagick.org/script/escape.php for details on the
parameter syntax.
Depending on your windows version shell uses ANSI character set and
javascript will assume Unicode. So special characters like german
umlauts will be changed. If this happens you might want to read

Sorry, I forgot: The aqbove syntax is for direct use on the command
line. If you use it in a batch script you must double all % characters:
...
identify -format "[\"%%f\",%%w,%%h];\n" *.jpg >arrays.js

There isn't anything more primitive than a command line.
Oh, well, you can try to use Javascript, f.e. Windows Scripting Host
understands Javascript. Have fun ;-)

Hey John.
At work I swear on ImageMagick, I don't know how else I'd crop and convert 15'000 images in one go (that's not a typo!) :)
I'm also using TotalCommander [1] for general file handling.
TotalCommander has a bunch of plugins for Catloging files and general stuff [2]. Maybe you can coax the Catalog-Plugin to output what you want to a .txt-file, but I'd really suggest (as Erik) to install ImageMagick, fire up that DOS-console and start with his suggestion, it's not that complicated...
After you've installed it from http://is.gd/buwCo and use "Start" > "Run" > cmd you should be greeted with your well known DOS-window. Navigate to the folder with the images and enter:
---
identify -format "[\"%f\",%w,%h];\n" *.jpg > arrays.js
---
and you should have your desired list.

BTW: Thanks Erik for that tip, I didn't know this :)

Reading again I think it's actually
identify -format "[\"%f\",%w,%h]," *.jpg> arrays.js
what he wants :-)
However, to create websites I'd suggest using PHP (with GD).
getimagesize() returns (among others) the complete width and height
attributes for the IMG tag directly...

use to copy multiple filenames into the clipboard. I'm not sure if
this still exists.

I had a similar problem when compiling text for control files for
WPanorama. I detected, more or less by accident, that I can print
lists of files with a variety of attributes, among them dimensions,
using [xplorer²] Lite (http://www.zabkat.com/x2lite.htm).
In its default configuration it does not show file dimensions. Go to
menu "view" > Select Columns, add "Dimensions".
In the active pane, highlight the files you are interested in
Copy the file list to clipboard using "Ctrl P" (not "Ctrl C")
Hope this helps

If you have more work to do and if you ask nicely I write a batch script
for you where you can drop a folder on in explorer.
John McAllister
I am still baffled.

PATH variable such, that you can simply call them in any command window.
If you are in the folder c:\myimages you simply type the identify
command at the command prompt:
C:\myimages>identify -format "[\"%f\",%w,%h]," *.jpg >myfile.txt
If you get a not found error open a new command window and type PATH
(and enter) the path to imagemagick folder should be part of the output
string. If not you must enter it manually:

column edit mode ( press alt) to trim it.

click on c:/windows/system32/cmd.exe
cd to c:/users/wheremyfilesare
type "dir >dir.txt"
dir.txt now has a listing of the contents of the directory but it has the
date time and size as well but everything is in a line vertically.
get notepad++ from http://sourceforge.net/projects/notepad-plus/
and open dir.txt with it.
there is the handy block editing mode which you get by holding Alt as you
move the mouse, using this you can quickly delete the extraneous stuff to
leave one file name per line.

type "dir >dir.txt"
dir.txt now has a listing of the contents of the directory but it has the
date time and size as well but everything is in a line vertically.
I like adding shortcuts on files and/or directories, so that you can just right click and execute a bat or whatever...
