[webkit-dev] Calculate img/video aspect ratio from width and height HTML attributes

[Frédéric Wang]

Hello,

In  [1], we will try and make WebKit rely on the width and height HTML
attributes of the <img> and <video> elements in order to determine their
aspect ratio, so that it can be used for sizing the image using CSS,
before the content loads.

HTML and CSS standardization groups already reached consensus on this
proposal [2] and there are WPT tests for it. Moreover this is already
shipped in Gecko [3] and Chromium [4].
