First about the JS, why not grab the script from my setup. You
can get it at:
<http://netweaver.com.au/alt/thumbnailGalleryWithShortCaptions/boo
tnic7.js>
(Sorry, I can't tinyURL this.)
It is named after the bloke* who made it (in a thread around
about** March, April this year)
Second, I have not looked into your gallery but it looks nice
(the centring is just an extra touch). I did notice though that
you can achieve a saving in the html doc, no need to be classing
so many divs. Perhaps you can achieve the reduction by looking at
my source for the general idea)
-------------------
* "bloke" is an Australian word that means "man" and not to be
found in the International English Dictionary. The js script file
has 7 after it because it is a finely honed thing from many
earlier versions. Treat it with reverence.
** I am roughly sure of this because I used it to centre a mass
of a family member's wedding pics and I recall with great pride
and pleasure the wedding itself... <g>)
