You don't need tables for image galleries. I have a number of example galleries on my site which use "float: left" in addition some other markup to line up both the images and additional text and/or tooltip text. The big advantage of using float is that if you widen the browser more images can take up the horizontal space (unless they are really huge). I adapted some from examples I got out of Eric Meyer's books, in particular "More Eric Meyer on CSS". However if you are okay with tables take a look at some of the galleries on http://www.cssplay.co.uk/
On my site see: http://dottedi.biz/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=86&Itemid=221 as an example or the one called Medium format. When you say application it sounds more like using web forms and a database to manage the images. That would be off topic here, but as a side note I wrote a php/mysql application to manage the images in most of my example galleries. It's too late now but if you want later I can send you the CSS and HTML on or off the list. -Bob Carol Huddleston wrote: > I am trying to design my first web site using CSS.
