As I've discovered trying to emulate a table layout in a box model and styling the items individually then trying to work the cascade back into the stylesheet and remove the styling from the page code is NOT a good plan. Starting entirely from scratch with my CSS head on would probably work better. Reinventing the wheel when someone's done the bulk of the work already, grabbing a suitable template and tweaking it and feeding it back into the program would be ideal. >> BUT can you guys suggest a template that works in a similar way (light >> and fast and proper html/CSS) that would be a better thing to spend my >> time and energy on adapting? >> >> I can still use Irfanview to generate the thumbs and manually insert >> them into the code.

Oh yes, for a proper website I'd crush them severely enough to make them not worth copying but not so much they are unviewable.

What is often needed is cropping followed >by resizing. Yes that's relatively easy, when I've got a suitable layout together I can easily go from the original TIFFs (for slide scans) or RAWs from the digital camera and *resample* to a suitable size and compression of .jpg twice, once for the web photo, once more for the thumb. The photos can end up any format after they've been cropped but it should be relatively easy to generate consistent format thumbs.

Thanks! It's scary how good digital kit has become, IMO my Canon 5D Mk 2 just about beats my colleague's various Nikons - but a friend travels the world with a tiny Panasonic that fits in his pocket and on the web you can't see much difference in quality (A2 prints are a different matter though)

The photographers elsewhere recommended some softwares but here's the output from one http://homepage.mac.com/lco/Sites/SLO_BREW-02/SLO-Brew_index.html which makes me ask "Why a duck?" er I mean "Why a script?" Then I refound what I was looking for in my archive of this group, I knew it was somewhere http://netweaver.com.au/alt/thumbnailGalleryWithShortCaptions/thumbLandscapeGallery7.html http://www.student.oulu.fi/~laurirai/www/css/gallery/ http://www.ivy32.plus.com/testing/float_test/em_float.html Got some things to play with there Dorayme's comes closest, easy enough to add another line to the code when I add another photo and thumb to the directories Thanks!
