Thanks Andy.
As to the solution to my problem: you might as well be talking in a foreign
language viz "If you code the images as a simple list, with each image
floated left,...."
As you probably will have realised I am self-taught and using tables is an
easy way to hold pictures in a neat arrangement, which validates.
I have looked in, books on html and css and cannot see a way to hold
images/text of different sizes in a vertical/horizontal arrangement without
some form of scaffolding to hang them on.
With reference to the thread you refer to: I cannot trace it.
