You know those context widgets on photo pages that let you go to the next and previous photos in a set, pool, or photostream? Like this…

Well take a close look above, and you might notice that we just made some changes to them. Using the “browse” button pictured above, you can now jump directly to the page of the set, pool, or photostream that contains the current image.

And, maybe even cooler, you can use the “more” buttons to scroll through the set, pool, or photostream right there on the page, through the magic of DHTML AJAX. (As you use the “more” buttons, you’ll find that the “browse” button changes, so that it always takes you to the page that contains one of the thumbnails in view.)

These are the first of several improvements we are planning for the context widgets. Enjoy!
