Hi all, I'm new to the list and relatively new to the world of web design in general, having been using Joomla! for a year or so to tinker with putting my website online. I'm also using Gallery2 for photo presentation, and that brings me to my issue.
The templates that are out there for G2 are all well and good, but built on tables with terrible technique and usually non-existent commenting, all wrapped in CSS that is just a mess. Trying to deconvolute this stuff can be like reading hieroglyphics. So I've found a template I like but want to make changes to it that have me pining for a tableless design. Really, I just want to strip it down. For now, my concern is only with the photo display page. Here's an example: http://www.mincel.com/gallery/travel_places/paris/IMG_1610.JPG.html What I'm trying to do is replicate the display of this photo. Ignore everything but the main photo and the navigation bar icons directly above and below. I only want to use a lower navigation bar, so this becomes like a 3 column layout with header, where the header contains the photo and the 3 columns contain those nav buttons. But with this table design, widths aren't specified, so however large the photo (header) is, the nav buttons below will always be left, center and right justified, respectively, to the image edge. And the container that holds the header/column combo is centered on the page (ignoring the thumbnail panel). It seems that this should be simple to do without tables, but I've made many stabs at it and failed. I'm not sure what I'm missing. Can anybody lend some insight into this? Many thanks in advance. Hope everyone is having a happy holiday.
