Description (Last modified by markjaquith)

This whole section:

... is related to inserting that individual photo into the post, but it is slammed together with photo settings that you can change and save. We really need to demarcate the "Insert Image into Post" section better.

Other issues:

  • "None" alignment radio button is not selected by default.
  • The Link URL section is incredibly confusing. At first I thought that was where you could edit the filename.
  • Pressing input buttons to make your link URL selection is unnatural.

(In [7510]) Check the Alignment: None box by default for media insertion. XHTML validation. see #6379

  • owner changed from anonymous to markjaquith.
  • status changed from new to assigned.

Fixed the Alignment default selection issue.

My initial idea for separating this section was to change the background color. But it's in a table with cell-spacing, so even if you start a new tbody with a special class and give that tbody a different background color, it looks horrible because of the gaps between the cells that show through the white background of the page. And if you start a new table, you run into issues with the expand/contract code.

Maybe we just need a horizontal rule type of separation, and to move the Delete link up to the top somewhere. Could really use some HC/MT inspiration here.
