I can not speak to the 508 standards in general, but can offer an
example
for the CSS layout. Take a look at http://photofiles.lib.uchicago.edu/,
and search for "abbott". If you resize the browser window, the
thumbnails
will rearrange themselves according to your browser width - dynamic
table
width via CSS, as it were. If that resizing is acceptable, it should
solve
the <table> part of the problem. Check for div.datum, I think, in the
CSS.

NB: this was someone else's work.
