I've had a couple of replies off-list. Apparently the scrolling gallery doesn't work in Firefox 1.5.0.6 on a PC. I wonder why, as it works fine in Firefox 1.5.0.6 on my Mac?
Also I've been advised that for 'content type' I should be using 'text/html' and not 'application/xhtml+xml'. That was a copy/paste error. I've made the alteration and uploaded it: http://www.richardnicholson.com/testing/list_text.html (To be clear, all the images should be laid out in one long horizontal ROW. If they wrap to the browser window, or line up in one long COLUMN, then my code isn't working.) Re. Don's general comments about whether a side-scrolling gallery is a good idea - Well, I've given it a lot of thought and I've decided that it's the effect I want to achieve. Whether it's possible, with good cross browser compatibility, is what I'm trying to find out. I realise that top-to-bottom is the dominant paradigm in web design. I'm just curious to see whether a left-to-right design can be achieved - and without fixing everything in a table.
