in my little homemade picture gallery i find it difficult to accurately put the information about each picture into the correct place in the HTML doc.
each image is contained within a div, and i have dozens of them. each picture has data associated with it (title, finename, item #, caption, availability and cost), and each item has to go in the right place in the div. and i go bug-eyed trying to keep track of where i am while scrolling around.

it would be nice if i could set up a table or an array in my HTML doc itself, and just plop in the new info on a new row, and have a JavaScript or jQ routine grab the pieces of info and set them up in a new div.

after listening to crockford talk about security, i think i want to stay away from databases, and just stick to JS or jQ. but i don't know how to approach this problem.

i have a rough understanding of some javascript, and a beginners of jQ. and i like both of them. i guess in the back of my mind i was thinking along the lines of scripts that would grab a piece of data (from an array or table) and using something like innerHTML. paste it in the div.

can anyone give me a few thoughts or pointers ?
