I am new to webdesign, and have been learning html, but cant seem to find a resource that solves my problem. I created my webpage in Dreamweaver, but it is now simpler to update the site through the server using the html editor. What I am trying to do is hand code the gallery. I have the thumbs and full size pics on the server, and my original gallery looked fine in Safari, with all the pics aligned how I want them, and each line automatically dropping down as text would. (ie pics 1-4 are the first row, and the table forced the next pic to wrap around to create a new row, etc.) In IE, however, the thumbs all sit in one single row, left to right, without wrapping. Is there a tag I can use to make the pics drop to the next line? I tried <p>, but that didnt really help. Or, even better, is there some sort of CSS code I can use to create this?

I tried that too. All it does is move the pics one space down, but it is still inline horizontally. Is there a way I can force the table width to stay the same horizontal size, therefore pushing the content down? I am assuming that this is a behavior in safari, not in IE, and that is why it is stretching. It also compresses the tables on the left of the gallery, and squishes all the text into tall, narrow blocks.

Nevermind....<br> works, I just had to use more than one. Thanks for steering me in the right direction.

Hmmm, that is strange. One should have been sufficient to start a completely new line of pics. Show more HTML of the situation if you want to know more.

Hi -
I also like to use definition lists for my thumbnail galleries, which can be styled quite nicely with css. Got the idea last year from somewhere 'round here:

at the maxdesign site.
Good luck,
