Photo gallery with DHTML layers - positioning issues

[murmurkibbies]

Hi,

I've created photo galleries using DHTML show-hide layer stuff. You can view them at http://www.bigriversystems.com/scottburtonphoto

My question is, is there any way I can make the layers containing the large pictures positioned in a way that, no matter what someone's monitor size is, they'll be somewhat centered in the black space?

Because all the large images are centered on my computer, but I looked at the site on a friend's computer, and some of the large photos overlapped the thumbnails.

umm, maybe with java? there may be a script that will center those for you, try and run a google search for it. Another alternative would be to make the photo gallery in flash, then you would just have to worry about centering the flash movie

Your problem has nothing to do with different computers it is to with the template you are using. I've just taken a look at the source code and it really is quite nasty. Try it on your own computer - just make the browser window narrower and see what happens. The sad thing is that this is really quite an easy problem to fix ordinarily, but because this page uses such a badly designed template, it may take a lot of time to unpick it all and tweak the right tags. I would strongly suggest that you redesign the page from scratch using HTML CSS and a bit of Javascipt to do the swaps. Take a look on Codebelly.com or Hotscripts.com for the Jscript I'm sure you'll find something there that will be usefull. Also W3Schools.com/css and CSSzengarden.com will help you with layout ideas and solutions.
