Hi James, I think Joe's suggestion is what you are looking for. To be a little more explicit, use a nested div where the outermost div is just wide enough to hold 3 images. This will be your viewport. The inner div will hold all of the images: style .viewport { width: 300px; /* wide

I'll chime in to mention that people who intentionally turn off CSS, or use their own specific styles to override defaults represent a TINY percentage of users. TINY. For me personally, testing without CSS is a mute point since I spend a fair amount of time creating a nice naked document to
