I agree with James that you might need to re-look at the way you are doing this, but I think a better way to accomplish it would be to style a list. Therefore you won't run into any adjacent link problems with accessibility validation - (WCAG 1.0 AAA - point 10.3)

Anyway here’s a link to a page I quickly made, hope this helps you.

Sounds like a trip on the Magical Mystery Whitespace Tour (sponsored by

Microsoft). I had this problem while back with a nested list, threw

things at the screen in the end to try and fix it. Luckily calmness

(counted to 32768 backwards) prevailed and I ended up rejigging the

complete list (all was well). :D

You have this :

<h1>Feature Gallery</h1>

<h2>Click on thumbnail for larger images</h2>

</div>

Try this....

<h1>Feature Gallery</h1>

<h2>Click on thumbnail for larger images</h2>

</div>

CSS:

.gallerygrid a img

{

float : left;

}

.break

{

clear : both;

}

---

You may also need to do this in IE:

<h1>Feature Gallery</h1>

<h2>Click on thumbnail for larger images</h2>

</div>

Russ has a thing on floats in his floatutorial - IE needs to have

absolutely no whitespace between tags sometimes.
