It is exact, the current version of MaxiGallerie uses tables and that is against the recommendations of W3C.
We work Doze and myself on a new version of MAxiGallerie which will make it possible to use your template. I present as example a presentation in the form of a line of 3 thumbnails, in lower part the image in normal dimension.
While passing on one of the thumbnails, the image is brought up to date. While clicking on the image you obtain the enlarging of the image. This presentation respects recommendations W3C.
You will be able to even create your clean template and why not present it to us.
This new presentation must correct some bugs.
A little patience. Please.

I tend to agree. It’s not bad coding to use a table here (it might even be the most efficient way to do it). I think either way is OK (so allowing people to template their output would be best).

The only time that I will arbitrarily rule out the use of a table is if it will put the content in an order that will be difficult for users of text readers or other assistive technology to make sense of. If tabbing through a table in left-to-right, top-to-bottom order will present the content in an understandable, usable manner, then I cannot see any logical reason not to use one if it does the job. And with the current state of browsers and CSS support for organized structure, it often is the best way to do the job. Spending four times as long, and creating a horrendous incomprehensable css file that is mostly hacks, with more hacks to hide the hacks, to attempt to deal with every browser and its quirks just to be ’politically correct’ seems kind of pointless.
Good points all around. I feel like the existing tags just don’t quite do it still. I usually wrap each row of thumbnails in a styled div, which means that I’m still determining how many will be in a row in my (X)HTML (at least this is done in a PHP snippet, so it’s not something I’d need to find and replace should I want to change it). But I find that if I just throw them all in there with floats they create a terrible jumble while loading. Does anyone have a good solution for organizing any number of thumbnails in rows whose characteristics are determined in CSS? I’d be interested to try it out.
I join the points of view of susan and scotty. Only the snippet was created with tables and any change of the code must take account of the past.
This is why the new version always contains tables but in an external template with the code as scotty say it.
The template is external with the code and updated by yourself. The template is made external by using the plugin tbs4modx. It will have to respect the documentation of TBS.
I await the publication of doze which must validate the code and make some existing corrections of bugs.

ZAP, try explicitly setting a width and height on your containing divs to avoid the "jumble-build".

Hi,
It would be a great addition for multilingual purpose that pictures used in lightboxV2 such as "close" for instance be translated for the next release.
That way according the settings in the snippet the visitor would have the interface in his language.
