Dynamic number of columns? (istockphoto.com)

[TheDust]

I am building a new site and I wish to integrate the same effect that istockphoto.com has achieved with its thumbnail view:

http://www.istockphoto.com/file_search.php?action=file&text=cow&filetypeID=&x=0&y=0

If you scale your browser window wider and thinner you will see that the thumbnails actually pop up and down rows and the number of columns changes dynamically based on the browser's current size.

Does anyone know how to achieve this effect? Seems like it wouldn't be difficult...

Have a look at the HTML and CSS for that URL... that'll provide you with all you need to do it. Seriously! Just put the images on the page... ideally inside a div (with a min-width set to something useful).

Just let it flow!

Cheers,
Jeff

Yeah I actually figured this out by doing what you said... worked like a charm!

Thanks for taking the time to offer advice!

That's the key to CSS and "modern thinking" web design.
You normally aren't adding stuff like table cells, but taking stuff away and handing control back to the user.

Mark up your document properly, style it a bit then let the user's browser sort it out.
