RE: [WSG] Problem with floated divs in gallery site

[Ted Drake]

Here is a solution my friend Brian came up with for a gallery page for my class.  I need to add the toggle.js script to make the gallery work, and it isn't perfect, but gets the job done.  Of course, that creatures image of yours is a real problem. http://www.sdco-op.com/palomar/gallery.html.  We are using a background image to fill the space.   Have you tried using a series of definition lists?  The dt could be the image and the dd could be the title. You could specify the height of the dt.  I did some work with this for a previous project and I need to pull up some of those files to look at it again to see what we did.

In effect, I have to code a page that will have an unknown number of thumbs, with an unknown mix of horizontal and vertical aspect ratios, in an unknown order. That's why I'm seeking an 'elegant' (ie common and minimum css) solution... ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++= Nick, then use a css table. Nothing wrong with that. It's a reasonable and elegant solution given the circumstances.     drew
