I’ve been trying to develop a gallery solution and I think I have a sweet design, but it requires some super-advanced CSS work. I want it to do something like this Photoshop mockup:

I think it will require deft use of the Overflow and White-space controls, because if I do a series of image links, they wrap if they’re too wide. Unfortunately white-space:nowrap doesn’t wanna cooperate and it doesn’t actually prevent anything from wrapping. So!

Is CSS actually a viable solution for this or should I go with something like flash?
