Cheers Al Sure thing, there's a fairly simple templating system that lets you do just that if you so desire.

On a similar note, the templating thingamajig means you can insert extra classes or IDs as required. The demo/default template is built to be lean, and your point about absolute URIs is well received. (We could cheat on the demo and just make it leaner that way, but... well... you know). Hopefully that'll get into an update sometime soonish. RE: H1 breadcrumb semantics, that struck me as being better than having no headings at all. It's clearly a headER, if not a headING... but I tend towards thinking it describes the upper-most level of content on the page adequately. Point taken, though. One of the difficulties in making default templates for something like this is it's almost certain users (i.e. developers, not end-users) have their own ideas about what the markup surrounding the gallery should be like... so I consider the default template to be adequately generic that people can see how it works in a vague sense and then change it as they wish. I'm interested to hear other peoples' opinions (on the breadcrumb issue especially), but feature (i.e. non-markup)-specific comments would be better sent offlist.

Re: [WSG] Semantic image gallery software
With regards to the demo; it would be nice to provide a few more hooks (id's) in the HTML so that it makes things easier to style with CSS alone. eg. ul id=photolinks lia href=http://demo.cat-scan.net/photo/demo/03/; title=03 access=7#8592;/a/li lia href=http://demo.cat-scan.net/photo/demo/; title=cat-scan Demo Folder access=8Thumbnails - cat-scan Demo Folder/a/li lia href=http://demo.cat-scan.net/photo/demo/05/; title=05 access=9#8594;/a/li /ul It would help to have some id's on the li's. I'd imagine that there would be users who would want to do some image replacement on those arrows. Similarly id's could be added to the links in the h1 and footer. Also I don't think a bread-crumb is really a good h1. Would be better as a div. On a programming side: an option to have relative URLs would be nice. Striping out a long domain name on several links could shrink the file size (anything to make a gallery load quicker can only be a good thing). -- Rowan http://www.rmwpublishing.net/ ** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list getting help **
