I would like to have this (right bottom) ... but
1. it's a tableless system
2. I would like infos appears by dhtml popup.
I have seen your "core" code ... it's a hell for me. I have suggested you (without answer) to help you to transform your excellent plugin in tableless system ...
Sorry the code is a hell for you... Programming can be a bit daunting for newcomers when they first look at it. Its probably the whole thing on how it generates the code, its so elegant... I just love that part.
Anyway, I am pretty sure I did respond. But in brief:
* I am NOT going to transform to tableless... Few people care about it at this point in HTML/CSS's evolution. I will make an option to generate tableless, but that has to wait until I have time and can abstract out the generation code so I can provide a generic interface for me to code to.
* Please be more specific as for what help you are offering... If you are writing code to do this, just want to make feature requests, etc, etc.
I do think it would be a nice to have, but not particularly needed at this point. I understand that because you need it for something that you do feel its much more urgent - but not all that much is moving to DHTML IMO. I run a web development company and we have 0 requests for this sort of thing - and we also tend to not suggest it as HTML is very well supported across browsers, but CSS layouts are not as proven.
So I have a list, somewhere on that list is abstracting the output code... that will make Tableless more attractive.
Regardless, I would suggest if you really need it now to simply extend CPMFetch and write your own code. You will not have to deal with my code "Hell" since you only use the ones you need.
Here are some short examples

Hopefully that can get you where you want to be
Keep me posted, and I think there is a forum here for extending cpmfetch - if you decided to go that route, post there to keep this all organized
I'm really not ok with you ... it has been proven CSS / XHTML was THE solution for web interfaces. All "great" sites like Microsoft, Macromedia ... are recoded in XHTML / CSS ... I think a lot of web agencies "show" they can do, but they can do is not the same thing "the best". A lot of discussions about designers / coders show "one clic = 1 page" is a very old "way" to think (with dhtml, xmlhttprequest ...) ... before doing websites, go a day inside a cybercafe ... you can learn more than anything. Show to your clients
http://www.csszengarden.com and show them they can change interface as simple as a clic ... they WANT this. Csszengarden proves tables are prehistoric.
So OK, I'll go inside your code to erase table / tr / td ... it's incredible to see in 2005 tables are better CSS ... waouh. If all people thought like that, we'll all run with Lynx or Mosaic today.
But let me say :
<table>
<tr>
<td>
<a href="urlpic"><img src="pic"></a>
</td>
<td>
<a href="urlpic"><img src="pic"></a>
</td>
<td>
<a href="urlpic"><img src="pic"></a>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
is better for you than
<div id="thumb">
<a href="urlpic"><img src="pic"></a>
<a href="urlpic"><img src="pic"></a>
<a href="urlpic"><img src="pic"></a>
</div>
Live example
http://www.sortons.net/dev/nol33t/testgalerie.htmWith CSS, you can even change the "thumb" without using php (the thumbs have normal width / height, but seem to be cropped). Look at the code : say me it's not better than tables ...
And you can CONTROL ALL your layout with the ID ... we don't live in the same planet
sorry
Indeed, you can erase all parameters like "cols" or "rows" ... making your script simplier.
Consider my post not a personal attack, but I see the "old" coders don't like evolution. But xhtml is the better evolution since 1998. (and the dead of NS 4, of course)
