Just as an aside, I've been looking at ways to represent thumbnails as 
little slides, specifically the problem with vertical alignment, and 
found that if you create one cell tables you can leave things looking 
quote nice.

The problem I have is that the size of the images must be known before 
hand, not difficult with a bit of PHP, but I would have preferred a pure 
CSS solution.

I don't know if this is helpful or might give you ideas but have a look 
on my website:
