New GZG Photo Gallery

Hi all Long time lurker and occasional poster...I have a new website that
while is mainly dedicated to Battletech, has a budding GZG section. So far,
all that's up is a photo gallery.

You can reach the gallery at:

No comments re. cameras, but one comment about the web page layout:

On my computer (running IE 5.0), the gallery shows up as two screens
wide -
which means that I can't see a picture and its entire caption at the same
time :-(

Making the page a single screen wide and/or putting the captions below
their respective pictures may be boringly conventional, but it sure makes the
page a lot easier to read...

Same here. I'm running IE5.5, with my screen set to 1024 x 768. In my own
picture galleries (being redone at the moment) I always make sure that someone
can see my pictures without horizontal scrolling on an 800 x 600 screen.

I concur with Oerjan, the layout of the page could be a lot easier to read.

I noticed that the author has coded some javascript. Any reason for this? It
would seem that you could do the same thing with standard HTML...

Well as the "author", I hope the fact that I am using a site builder helps
explain a few things. Any suggestions on how to fix this would be of some
definate help.

Unfortunately, short of telling you to pick up a book on HTML and learn how to
code it yourself -- using tables and stripping out the javascript --
there's no easy way of telling you how to fix it.

HTML is pretty easy to use. You could create a two column table that would fit
the screen, with one column holding an image and the other column holding the
description. This is fairly basic thing to do.

If you do decide to code the HTML yourself, I suggest you pick up
Arachnophilia. It's an HTML editing tool. Best of all, it's free!

<g> I was about to say "Pick up HTML for Dummies and write it yourself".

This really is the best way--I've tried HoTMetaL, CoffeeCup etc, and
while they're okay, I find it easier just to go ahead and write the code
myself.

May I suggest CoffeeCup instead?
