Bert,

That's what I came up with but they remain uncentred within the container.

Would you care to apply your expertise to something like --

... a standard structure, a list (ul, li ...) which holds images and
associated captions centred in a fluid container.

e.g. -

<-- [img] [img] [img] [img] [img] ... ->
<-- [img] [img] [img] [img] [img] ... ->
<--       [img] [img] [img]           ->

(I know I've posted this twice before but it seems that people are missing
the point, the nub of the requirement: centred within a container.)

G'day

Sorry, I emailed direct rather than to the list.

Here it is:

        I stay away from using NESTED tables

        I try to use DIVS only (and it's fine in simple layouts)

        I use a maximum of one table per page, if it makes life
        easier, such as where there is a complex layout, or where I
        have something that, with some imagination, could qualify as
        "tabular data".

        Having said all that, if you can control the height of the
        captions, you could use divs or ps with a fixed height.
        Have a look at the portfolio page on my site (url in
        signature) for an example.

        I use paragraphs here, but you could use divs, an unordered
        list,   or whatever :-)  The beauty (to me) of this set up is
        that at different resolutoins you get a different number of
        thumbs across.  For instance, at 800x600 I see 5 across, at
        1024x768 there's 7 and at 1280x1024 I get as many as 9 across.

        P.S. I know this site isn't perfect.  Am working on it.
