var   top='12%';
var   left='15px';

px is direct pixel address
% is relative to page size

there are other units of measure that can be used also

each frame has a sequential DIV ID eg: "t1" to "t"+(n_max)
(n_max) = the last picture id number

the templates that have an array interface auto-count the number of pics
the other <div id> ones you have to set as you have done

there is one other thing to consider and that is if your picture
contains the character sequence </ 
then replace the < char with &lt;

i shall now reformat all the other templates to make them easier to
cut'n'paste the vital bits and to add extra info describing the items
you had most uncertainty about


i did a 'save as' whilst using Ie5 on win98 at my own site and looked
at it with notepad and it had loads of header garbage and meta stuff
saying it was "Generated by Explorer" which is bull 'cos it was hand
written by me and below that was a load of mush that was s'posed to be
my code

                   _
      ~~  -\- ~~~~~T=_
      ~  ~  `.  ~~~~~T=_
        ~~~~   ~  ~~~~~T=_*~~~~ ~~ ~
          ~~  ~~    ~~~~~T=_*~~~~ ~ ~~
            ~~~   ~~  ~~~~~T=_*~~~~ ~~ ~
              -----\------.   =_*~~~~~ ~ ~~
                    `.     `.   =_*~~~~~ ~~ ~
                      `------\------------
