Hi,

I'm trying to create a page with thumbnails that will fill all the
available space. Like, let's say, MSWindows folder in thumbnails view.

I want it to look like:
O O O O
O O O O
O O O
on wider screen,

and like:
O O O
O O O
O O O
O O
on tighter.

It is possible in IE quirk mode by setting width to inline elements,
but how it can be done under html4?

What you have described is normal browser behavior. If something else
is happening, it is a peculiarity of your page.
Without an URL to demonstrate your problem, I can't even make a WAG.

Actually, each item on the page is an icon + text. Texts are vary in
length. I want to keep the items in strait lines in both X and Y
directions.

http://207.232.33.29/example/quirk.htm - check it with IE6. That's what
i look for. Strait vertical lines, each item has 100px width.

That's how the same html looks with html4/strict.dtd

If you want just thumbnails of equal height without captions:

}
.thumbs img {
        display:inline;
}
.thumbs a{
        margin:5px;
}

<div class="thumbs">
<a href="..."><img src="..." alt=""></a>
<a href="..."><img src="..." alt=""></a>
<a href="..."><img src="..." alt=""></a>
</div>

Thank you, Els, I used tables as there, and it's working. Now just for
fun - I'm trying to find a solution without tables.
