It's difficult to get an idea of how it +will degrade under conditions like "image size > browser window" with +images as small as the ones you used. You might find +<http://git.pseudorandom.co.uk/smcv/ikiwiki-demos/ikialbum.git> +(`git clone git://git.pseudorandom.co.uk/git/smcv/ikiwiki-demos/ikialbum.git`), +or the same techniques, useful: it contains images with a realistic pixel +count, but very very lossy JPEG compression, to keep the size in bytes low. + +It's much, much easier to review changes if you use separate commits for +cosmetic changes like "separate index CSS from viewer CSS" and "more +consistent indentation", and functional changes like turning the prev/next +links from absolutely-positioned to floating. I'd be happy to apply +the cosmetic changes if they were in commits that were literally only +cosmetic changes, with no functional effect. + +For the functional bits: I think I'd have used floating boxes instead of the +absolutely-positioned boxes that are currently used if they provided the effect +I wanted. I can't remember exactly why I didn't do that now, but +it might have been because if the browser window shrinks below the image width, +floats have weird behaviour (they push the actual image out of the way), or because +I wanted the entire left/right margin of the image to be clickable to have +a large click-target for scrolling through the album. + +If there's something specific that you think is wrong with the CSS in my +branch, could you please explain it, and perhaps we can come up with something +that matches both our requirements? + +--smcv |
