Thanks, Bert - that's a different and very useful take on the problem.
Er - Notwithstanding your PS, do you know how unwell your site is in Mac browsers? IE5 particularly - the only thing that shows up is the bgrd image (red at left). I think it's the height:100% that's doing it...
If you want, I can send you some screenshots direct; I have a range of IE versions on both OS9 and OSX, and Safari 1 for OSX. Maybe some others might like to contribute sshots from other browsers?

G'day
Sorry, I emailed direct rather than to the list.
Here it is:
I stay away from using NESTED tables
I try to use DIVS only (and it's fine in simple layouts)
I use a maximum of one table per page, if it makes life easier, such as where there is a complex layout, or where I have something that, with some imagination, could qualify as "tabular data".
Having said all that, if you can control the height of the captions, you could use divs or ps with a fixed height. Have a look at the portfolio page on my site (url in signature) for an example.
I use paragraphs here, but you could use divs, an unordered list, or whatever :-) The beauty (to me) of this set up is that at different resolutoins you get a different number of thumbs across. For instance, at 800x600 I see 5 across, at 1024x768 there's 7 and at 1280x1024 I get as many as 9 across.
P.S. I know this site isn't perfect. Am working on it.

Roy - ummm, did I miss a post? Can you point me to 'Bert's layout'?
Thanks Nick
