Can someone help me out here with a quick question? I have a picture gallery set up and I have to do the printout of thumbnails on the screen in X number of pictures across and X number of pictures down (defined by the admin, so it can be anything).

How can I get the html to print out with TR tags between each set of X across and TD tags between each image?

I think it needs a little failsafe in there incase it isn't always an even number in the last row where there aren't empty table cells.

For an easy sample, let's assume we have @images = qw(image1.gif image2.gif image3.gif ...); We want to go say 4 wide and 5 down for a total of 20 pictures on a screen at once. However, if there's only 2 rows of images I don't want 3 blank rows. I just want the 2 rows.
