    copied!<p>I'm working on a photography website. One of the things we're trying to aim for is a 'film strip' type of display for the images, as opposed to the usual thumbnail or 'tabulated' formation.</p> <p>It works with tables. No problemo. The only thing that makes me not want to use a table is the fact that I'm not showing data, there's no need for columns and rows.</p> <p>Another thing that is a slight spanner in the gears is the fact that I'm putting the images as backgrounds of divs. This is for basic 'copy protection', and also so I can overlay items over the photo on hover of the div.</p> <p>The way I've got it coded at the moment is:</p> <pre><code>container [ [image] [image] [image] [image] ] </code></pre> <p>I've drawn a skitch to help out with the visualisation of this..</p> <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/3LCui.png" alt="alt text"></p> <p>As soon as the width of the container is met, the image-divs are dropping to the next line. The CSS for the Divs is as follows:</p> <pre><code>.gallery_block_image_p { width: 354px; height: 532px; display: inline-block; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; margin-left: 10px; float: left; background-repeat: no-repeat; } </code></pre> <p>and for the container...</p> <pre><code>#gallery { border: 0px solid black; position: relative; top: 99px; /* width: 8000px; */ /* When this is uncommented it works, with a huge amount of space to the right */ height: 532px; z-index: 99; } </code></pre> <p>and last but not least, the HTML used for the image divs...</p> <pre><code>&lt;div id="gallery_1_0_img" class="gallery_block_image_p" style="background-image: url(gallery_img/ith/adamd_20101021_137.jpg);"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; </code></pre>
