max-width works with IE7 in general. I cannot vouch for it
working with images. It was with IE6 and less that max-width was
not supported.

No, you can do it with PHP. You might go to the php.alt nesgroup
for help with this.

Sure. I am a bit of a fan of sorting these profiles into two and
organising thumbnails in two blocks without mixing them. I know,
it is more of a bore and involves actual work! <g>
I recommend not to use tables at all for where there are a lot of
thumbnails. You may care to look at a template like:
http://members.optushome.com.au/droovies/thumbnails/thumbLandscape
Gallery7.html
(the js is an enhancement to centre the whole show, so don't be
distracted by it; without it, the pages work essentially the same)
Here is a similar (but slightly different implementation without
tables):
http://tvrs.org.au/gallery/gallery.html
The thing about floating or inline images is the way it very
usefully uses the space, automatically wrapping. It is done a lot
on the modern web and you simply cannot get this sort of
flexibility with tables.
