I don't have access to the programming code in this app... I just
downloaded it and took a look. JAlbum.
Be nice to be able to configure the html as well as the css. The
css is easy as it is one file and applies to all. But the html
are as many files as there are pics and to control that would
need either parameters that non programmers can use or else the
source code. It may be available and I don't know it.
Is there anything out there that actually generates simple non
table based mark up. It would be nice not to have to make albums
"by hand" as I always seem to end up doing! I now particularly do
not like fixed layouts for thumbnails (the strong dislike has
stemmed from seeing that url you kindly provided about floating
divs for thumbnails), I like very much now, the idea of thumbnail
wrapping and regard fixed rows and cols for these things as a bit
dumb. The point of being able to control the html is to be able
to control the css that applies to it. With JAlbum, one can only
style a table based set of files. (Sure, it's better than a slap
in the face with a wet fish.)
