In reply to: Custom “page” with changing imageThat should be pretty easy to do with a PHP script, but WordPress 2.0 will have what you’re asking for. If you plan on upgrading it may be worth waiting until it’s released.

In reply to: Background auto resize for any resolutionRead up on background-position and background-repeat:

https://www.w3schools.com/css/pr_background-repeat.aspThere’s no way as far as I know to have your background image resized depending on resolution. If there is a way, I doubt it would be straightforward.

In reply to: Image Placement in 2.0A question to all those in favour of ‘Using Original’ adding the image at it’s original size:
What do you think should happen when the image is bigger than the size of the editor?
whimsy: It sounds to me like they might be browser specific issues. What browser are you using? Have you tried it in different browsers?
As far as I remember, Firefox will resize the image keeping the original aspect ration and Internet Explorer will not.

In reply to: Image Placement in 2.0At one extreme people will be uploading photos from their 4 megapixel cameras, having them displayed at 128×96 and then wonder why they take so long to download.
At the other extreme they’ll be adding the 128×96 sized thumbnail, resizing them to fill the page and then wonder why they get poor quality pictures.
As lynk mentions above, an image will look best when displayed at it’s original size.
Ideally the thumbnail should be generated when the user has decided what size they want their image to be (perhaps when they save their post). There should only be a need for one thumbnail per image, so if the user changes their mind about how big they want the image a new thumbnail can be generated to replace the old one.
Of course it’s never as simple as that, but you get the idea.

In reply to: Image Placement in 2.0If a large (larger than, ~730 pixels wide) image is inserted with it’s original dimensions it will be awkward to resize it because it will be bigger than the textarea. Not everybody knows how to resize images properly.

Forum: Alpha/Beta/RC
In reply to: Image Placement in 2.0When you choose “Using Original” the original file will be used. Just resized to the size of the thumbnail.
That’s how it works at the moment. Whether it will stay that way I’m not sure. How would you like it to work?

In reply to: RC1 and IEThe drag and drop is working but only with non-linked images. Is it not possible to have a button just below the image or somewhere in the image iframe that adds the image to the post?

In reply to: embed/object tag compatibilityMost of the errors you have are real. Just because your browser is doing a good job of guessing what you meant doesn’t mean there aren’t errors there.
I’d recommend you have a look at this page:
https://www.w3schools.com/xhtml/default.asp
You could also use a HTML 4.01 Transitional Doctype, but going the XHTML route will improve the quality of your code.
I’ve had a deeper look at your code on the page with object tags. What it looks like (from looking at the actual page) is that everything from the object tag is “leaking” outside the post div. It’s not like that in your code, but that seems to be how the browser is interpreting it. At the moment I don’t know why that would be.

In reply to: embed/object tag compatibilityYou need to bear in mind that the validator is not intelligent. It’s possible that you have a few real errors in your code that is causing it to think there are other errors that don’t really exist. I would seriously consider fixing some of the errors – you don’t know what other problems they could be causing.
Start by putting the gvisit script reference between
<head profile="https://gmpg.org/xfn/11">and</head>instead of just above<head profile="https://gmpg.org/xfn/11">as it is now.Richard

In reply to: embed/object tag compatibilityYou’ve got some code problems there. Making sure you’re using valid code may help. When checking your CSS for that page here: https://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/ I get “The element type “object” must be terminated by the matching end-tag “</object>”.”
You’ve got several problems with your html. Some are very easy to fix, some might take a bit of detective work.
