I have been using the Picasa Data API to download images into a photo gallery in Google Pages. Width and height are used to orientate the photos. However, for some albums these seem to be the wrong way round, and I have to modify the javascript accordingly.

I have been using ...

var height = item.gphoto$height.$t; var width = item.gphoto$width.$t;

var orientation =(height>width ? "vert" : "hor");

However for some albums I have to write ...

var orientation =(height<width ? "vert" : "hor");

...to get the correct orientation of the photos!

Why?

(The "vert" and "hor" are used as classes for the CSS image display.)
