7 sinz, If you noticed, I wasn't using tables http://www.english-sofas.co.uk/els_new/value_leather_sofas_0.htm. The challenge was to incorporate fluid and centred linear lists. The presented solution doesn't actually satisfy the requirement but does so for the client (who loved the site then mentioned centred product ranges). Good enough for me at the moment.
What I was missing was the fudge to give a 25%-ish value to the image block -- thus causing it to stretch and centre, but effectively limiting the display to 4 images per row. Good fudge, though. But let me state again:- I am looking for a standard structure, a list (ul, li ...) which holds images and associated captions centred in a fluid container. e.g. - <-- [img] [img] [img] [img] [img] ... -> <-- [img] [img] [img] [img] [img] ... -> <-- [img] [img] [img] -> Any takers?
