I'm trying to set up a page of thumbnails.  I'm trying at
all costs to avoid floating in this case (which I usually do) because
ultimately I want all the thumbs centered.  I've got it pretty close
only when I add a title the thumbs become one centered row. Ive tried
different display properties on the <p> tag within the "thumbwrap" but
so far I'm comin up short.

This layout of thumbs has to work in IE5x + (the image link
hovers/padding I can get later) But what is confusing me in this
situation is that this layout actually WORKS in ie5 and ie5.5 pc.  It
fails in a modern browser, ...

.thumbwrap { display: inline-block; } would be an easy solution, but actually this works only in Opera (Fx fails to hold the image and the caption with -moz-inline-box/-block)

So you could try an inline-block behavior for IE5+/Win (since they do not support display: table/table-cell) and a table-cell/table attempt for the others:


/*replace you rules with this */

.thumbcontainertop, .thumbcontainer2, .thumbcontainer3  { /* the rows */
        margin: 15px auto 0 auto;     /* auto center, and no width */
        padding: 0;
        background: rgb(85, 85, 85);
        text-align: center; /* IE5+ */
        display: table;
        }

.thumbwrap { display: table-cell;}

.thumbcontainer2 { margin-top: 5px;}

.thumbcontainer3 { margin-top: 5px; margin-bottom: 15px;}


and in the html, at the end of the <head>

<!--[if IE]><style>
.thumbwrap {
        zoom: 1;
        height: 0;
        display: inline; /* together: inline-block equivalent IE5+Win */
        }
</style><![endif]-->

</head>

Works for me in IE5.5/6, Fx/Dp, Opera7.54/8
But I fear this is not the end of the story.

Wouldn't it be better to float them? Once could say that centering is not that important.
