Right, I've been trying to write little image gallery using MouseOver
's, but I can't seem to align them in the centre.

Because they're all different sizes, setting a left position would be pointless and end up looking messy. Any ideas?

Ah, doesn't matter now. Just as I was about to change it I noticed what was wrong. It so simple, too. :-D

Still, thanks for the help.

Look at my page. It's got thumbnails at the top, and the bigger image nderneath. When you click on the thumbs it runs the javascript to change the bigger image. Just nick it from my source if you want, or I'll knock up a quick example.

Hmmm, how do you mean? I'm not too good with layers or JS, which makes it all the more annoying.

Isn't it easier just using "document.img.src=whatever.gif"?

Hmmmmm, when I get rid of the position: absolute; from the
tag, I can centre it, but then the other pictures appear below it.

Well basically I've got a row of pictures at the top of the page; each 100 bt 100 pixels, and on MouseOver, the layer's visibility is changed, and a larger version of the picture is displayed below. The problem is, it's always arching off to the right, meaning, depending on the size of the picture, it's sometimes too big to fit on-screen, and looks messy.

I haven't set any alignment to right, so I don't know why it is, but I can't seem to change the alignment of it.

You could use JS and "inner.HTML=
" for the
. but that only works in Ie. Could you explain a bit clearer too.

Over the years I've become very jaded after many bad experiences with customer services, you have bucked the trend. Polite and efficient from the Freeola team, well done to all involved.
