Not quite right for me. The names may not have a corresponding photo and the photos may not have a corresponding bio. There isn't a one to one here.
As for keeping the tables, it's what I have been using but I would change to a more css format if that would work better. Could you steer me in the right direction? -----Original Message----- From: Bill Brown [mailto:macnim...@gmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, January 14, 2009 1:11 PM To: James E.

Your image table begins on a new row in your table, so it won't show up /next/ to the name list, but rather below it. If you want to continue using tables, you might try reconfiguring your HTML to this sort of setup: <table> <tr> <td>names in <ul></td> <td>photos in <table></td> </tr> </table> -or- <table> <tr> <td>three names in <ul></td> <td>three photos in <table></td> </tr> <!-- Later, rinse, repeat --> </table> An alternative is to put everything in a list, with the photos attached to each name, like the way Windows displays tiles and thumbnails. I've uploaded a re-working of the code here if you're curious about this sort of thing: http://www.webdevelopedia.com/cssd/wact-proposed.html Hope it helps.
