i've stopped using tables for image galleries altogether. instead, i prefer to just spit out a bunch of divs and float them with CSS. eg, see this gallery. the advantages are that it is simple to generate (you can just use a plain <tmpl_loop>) and if you resize the browser window, they will reflow to fit. this allows the user to take full advantage of a big screen without making users with small screens scroll horizontally. if you still want to limit it to a certain number of columns, you just enclose the whole thing in a div with a fixed width. if you have images with irregular dimensions, you need to force the enclosing divs out to the maximum width and heights to make it look neat.
i used to try to do these with tables and it involved all kinds of annoying code to add in empty entries for the remaining table cells.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
