Lazy Images – No JavaScript

OK, after digging through the code it appears that the plugin actually does insert <noscript> data for images, but only within the content of articles! By default, I had lazy load working on the front page of my site and none of the images were showing up there. My solution was to exclude the homepage images from lazy loading, but it would be nice if the plugin had a way of detecting where it is running.

Also, when Javascript is disabled, the initial image takes up enormous space, because it still has its height and weight properties defined. The best way to get around this would be to assign a CSS class that hides that image by default, so that we don’t end up with empty spaces above images.

Hope this can be done sooner than later, or it looks pretty bad for those who disable Javascript.
