Caching will help you on reloads - depending on browser configurations - this cannot be relied on. It's good you now have proper thumbnails. I took a very brief look at your HTML. I don't know why in some browsers the image wont be clickable. Having an <img> nested in an <a> should be fine. However I will say make sure your image tag is terminated properly: it should end with a trailing slash: />. Also, you have a lot of table action going on. Whilst it's fine for your general tabular layout, there's no reason to have nested tables. Re the sizing, without a detailed look I don't know. You are specifying td widths. These will only be honoured so far as the browser can conform to these. Resizing the window may break this for example. You could also try specifying a width for each image. Also, re styling, a little bit of css will get you a long way.

Excellent advice and information - thank you. I've changed the hrefs in the gallery items so now they only surround the img in the table cell, and not the entire table cell. I think you're looking at the more recent version. I'll change the trailing ">" in the img to a "/>" shortly - thanks. A lot of the layout is generated programmatically - a long time ago I wrote a tool that takes a description of a page and spits out the table formatting. It then populates the cells with the contents of the requested file. Specifically, when fed with this: AAAE AAAE CCDE it will generate the table layout and put files A.phtml through E.phtml in the places requested. Makes laying out pages like this trivial. Ish. I think I've worked out what Opera was doing. For each image I'd asked for a height of 120. It correctly scaled the image, but scaled the cell horizontally for the original size, or something similar. I now also have some css, but it's not being rendered correctly by all browsers. However, it's pretty good on several, so I'm going to work more on content this afternoon. Steve (my mother-in-law) has several more pictures to add to the list.
