I'm sorry, I don't have the direct answer to your HTML question.
However, if you use JAlbum <http://www.jalbum.net/> to preprocess your
pictures you can achieve, more or less, any style of photo album you
feel like. It is free software and comes with a range of HTML
templates. You can modify them and the CSS to do what you want.
