Yes! The CSS background image is the way forward. Thank [EMAIL PROTECTED] for that. A layered-over-the-top-div solution would have been a complete and horrible hack as far as I'm concerned, so this is just great.
li.thumbnail{ position:relative; width:75px; height:75px; float:left; padding:2px; margin:1px; border:1px solid #ccc; background-position:center; background-repeat:no-repeat; list-style:none; } <ul> <li class="thumbnail" style="background-image: url(../photographers/ jane_patrick/thumbs/bubble.jpg);"/> <li class="thumbnail" style="background-image: url(../photographers/ jane_patrick/thumbs/Bob_Marchant_3.jpg);"/> </ul> Hopefully this will help someone else.
