The div serves as the necessary wrapping element that the DL does not provide which allows you to force siblings divs to clear each other. This can be accomplished by either applying a clear to every container div or simply using something like clearfix. As an extra benefit if you ever decide to do side by side displays this would also accommodate it with just css changes. Oh and it works fine in IE6.

Unfortunately I don't want to have visitors be redirected to picasa. That's why I am wondering when you plan to release 1.3 with Highslide support ? Keep up the good work, Steve I tested version 1.2.3 and liked the simplicity to embed picasa pictures into wordpress. Unfortunately I don’t want to have visitors be redirected to picasa.

Keep up the good work,
