Thanks to everybody that helped out. A majority of the layout issues were
indeed the block level interpretation that strict parsing implies. Ref:
http://developer.netscape.com/evangelism/docs/articles/img-table/
The other problem was that the browsers were wrapping before the <br />, but
after the <img>, even though there was no space. Talk about a mess! I
guess it's just a new way of thinking. In order to clean up the layout I
just put stuff each image in their own table cells, instead of trying to
stack them left to right.
For the question about width="-1%", that is a trick that I picked up from
some designers in Australia. It may be improper, but it forces the browser
to make the column as narrow as possible. Couple that with some cells
width="100%" and you can do some fun layout stuff.
eg.
<table>
<tr>
<td width="-1%">narrow</td>
<td width="100%">wide</td>
<td width="-1%">narrow></td>
</tr>
</table>
Thanks all,
