I my working on the site that will have image gallery. Designer idea was to make buttons that switch photos be above the photos a bit.

Like this

Currently I’ve made a javascript solution to this – it gets position of photo and applies absolute positioning to the button divs. There are some drawbacks – it works unstable in Opera and IE. Also I had to make some dirty haxx to make it stay in position after zooming. I wonder if there is a better way to do this, preferably without javascript.

    you mean like here ? (dutch website, see photo browser in the center column at the top)

    browser zooming works fine in browsers like firefox and safari because they zoom all the content and recorrect pixel-values. To make zooming work in ie(6) you’d need to style all in em’s. But browser zooming is crappy for pixel data anyways…

    Absolute positioning of the buttons (left 0 and right 0) is not a problem as long as the container element is positioned relative.
