Just an idea for a feature in the next release:
In any web album where navigation controls are displayed on the bottom, the whole nav jumps up and down when loading images. If the image dimensions were included in the markup, that wouldn't happen.

For example, if <img src="chopping.jpg" title="chopping" alt="chopping.jpg" />
were written like this -
<div id="photograph">
<img src="chopping.jpg" alt="chopping.jpg" width="800" height="533" title="chopping" />
</div>
the nav would not move when switching to the next image.

I handled this with changes to the CSS stylesheet, and it works pretty well -

From my post in the thread at

http://support.ornj.net/topic/two-things-id-like-to-see

"I find that I like to have the navigation at the bottom (less distracting). But the vertical location of the navigation links changes depending on how tall the picture is, and that's a problem, since you can't count on the links (like "Next") to stay under the mouse.

I fixed this by using absolute positioning for the nav bar, setting the bottom position to -5px. Of course, this has the potential disadvantage that the nav bar will overlay the main image if the vertical height of the browser window is too small. Still, I'm trying it out."

So you won't have to wait for the next release of WAG.
