   I am making a website for a friend and I am working with a gallery (using gallery shortcode with lightbox gallery plugin) for different pages.
   Some pages will only have 3 images, some maybe 12.
   The height of the gallery should be fixed (always 3 images), it should get wider (so more columns) when there are more images.
   So far so good, except that when the page won't fit, i want to scroll horizontally, but I get less colums and more rows, which i don't want.
   I could make the div a fixed width so it will always fit 4 columns, but that will mean a scrollbar wil always appear, even when not needed...

   example:

   I need some sort of nowrap thing i think, but i cannot get that to work...
   I hope for a css-based solution, cause I am not good in php

   Thanks for all help and tips!

   hmmm been looking into it more myself, and looks like the white-space: nowrap will not work on this...

   Any other ideas?
   I was thinking that it must be possible with php or javascript (which i both cannot write...) to make some calculations based on :
   - the amount of rows of thumbs on the page
   - times the width of the thumbs (which unfortunately can also vary...) - taking in account the right-margin of the thumbs
   - plus the width of the text div

   and then setting that as the width of the content div...

   but I wouldn't know where to begin writing something that does that... any advise?
   Or a better way to approach this?

   THANKS!
