Ah. light dawns! <G> with the name of pageturner I hadn't realised the
centrality of the script to the process. That's obviously why I can
get the floating OR the centring but not both . . .

Thanks to you both. I'll try

[1] reinserting the script

[2] playing with this one

http://www.student.oulu.fi/~laurirai/www/css/gallery/

see if I can come up with a pure css gallery that works the same way

ooh goody another one to play with!

Meanwhile I came up with this

http://www.combines.org.uk/Combines/gallery%202

works in all the browsers I've tried it with, it even makes a good
attempt to line up those not-the-same-size thumbs

Finns 10 Martians 9 <G>

Next job will be to upgrade Mr Corel's Draw and redo some of the
photos, the damn thing has broken itself again, it seems to hold the
settings I've used on one photo and reapply them to the next but only
at random. Some of the sharpening is so over the top I cut myself.

After that I'll try your example.

Thanks y'all!

Which version? You know to stay away from *even* version numbers!

Anyway the remember last filter for Photo-PAINT lest worked reliably on
version 8-9, best way to do it now is to make a VB script.

Take care,

Yes I *thought* they'd fixed that, this is X4. I was going to revert
to X3 which worked fine, but now X5 is out. All I need to do now is
find enough time to spring clean my office including doing a bunch of
hardware and software upgrades.

Strangely it seemed to be working OK until I installed an elderly
freebie version of Paint Shop Pro alongside it

<sigh>

Actually I want it to NOT remember what I just did and reapply it!
Just like my previous versions didn't.

Going back to the gallery, I'm trying to do the exact opposite of this

brilliant photographer but the sort of presentation and code that
makes me go

"WHY???"

I'm currently feeling the same about Corel
