    Hi all.

    Background: In the middle of developing a webapp using JQTouch. I'm retrieving images from the website and want to present this images as so:

    [x] [x] [x]
    [x] [x] [x]
    [x] [x] [x]


    The user would then be able to click on an image which will take it on to the next page.

    Problem: Creating a 3 * 3 grid to display images (similar in appearce to the iphone home screen.

    My CSS skillz aren't great and would appreciate any help from anyone on how to do this.

    If the images are the same width, roughly, create three divs. wrap each column in a div, with a set width wide enough for the image, and set the float for each property left.

    Yeah, that's the thing there's no knowing what size the images will be. I have implemented a slider gallery (from source code online) which shows full images one at a time. So I am not sure how this matrix will behave - whether it will only show part of the image that will fit in the div or will the image be scaled down.

    I would need the images to be sacled down.

    Surely if there were ever a legitimate use for a table, this is it?
