🔧 Changes in Detail

Asset Loading Fix

Problem: CSS and JavaScript files were not loading in frontend due to incomplete Web Asset Manager registration.

Solution: Updated registration methods with proper parameter signatures:

// Before (missing parameters)
$wa->registerStyle('imagecomparisonslider.style', 'media/.../css/imagecomparisonslider.css');

// After (complete parameters)
$wa->registerStyle('imagecomparisonslider.style', 'media/.../css/imagecomparisonslider.css', [], []);
$wa->registerScript('imagecomparisonslider.script', 'media/.../js/imagecomparisonslider.js', [], ['type' => 'module'], []);

Template Improvements

Changes:

• Cleaner HTML with proper indentation
• Alternative PHP syntax (if: / endif;) for conditionals
• Removed spaces around = in attributes (class="..." instead of class = "...")
• Added htmlspecialchars() to image src attributes
• Consistent use of loading="lazy" for images

CSS Optimization

Fixed: Icon not centered in handle button

Solution: Proper flexbox implementation with consolidated properties
