IIRC, IE5/Win doesn't like adding padding to inline elements, so check if
that browser is important to you.
To do what you're trying with <div>s, try:
<div class="imageDiv"><img src="foo1.gif" /></div>
<div class="imageDiv"><img src="foo2.gif" /></div>
<div class="imageDiv"><img src="foo3.gif" /></div>
Then in either and embedded or external stylesheet use:
.imageDiv {
float: left;
padding: 1em; /*or whatever value you like*/
}
