That's pretty much what I'm doing already. I wanted something fancier :$
Even though its only me that uses it there might be a chance I'll set it up for a few other people at work/uni. Tho that means I'll have to support it, so probably not.
Well if you ever let other people use it, you're probably going to need some kind of server-side script to resize the images before they get sent to the browser, otherwise you'll have people making galleries of 10+ megapixel images, which might put quite a strain on the server.
PHP or Sinatra would probably be suitable for something like this, basically anything that you can upload images to and which will create thumbnails and preview-size images automatically.
That said, browsers these days are quite good at resizing images so that's less of a concern (unless people visit using IE<9). I might have a go at making a simple lightbox thing, as I will need one for my caerphoto.com site eventually, and it's an interesting challenge.
LLLLLLLLLLLLLL
me too :$
Can you make it so the image appears on the existing page on Android , rather than adding 600odd pixels to the bottom of the page to display in?
Lightbox and others do the same, so I suspect not :(
I'll give that a go tomorrow.
:D
How queer. That suggests to me an issue with the way the browser is reporting the scroll position. HMMM :(
I've also just found out that IE9 displays all images at the same size as whichever image you click first. This is most vexing :@ (and best of all it works just fine in IE8 :? )
