How to rearrange table in Media Query?

http://jackyuan.org/item.html

I built the image gallery using table, 10 images per row, which is obviously impossible on smart phone and even ipad. So, is there any technique I can use to rearrange the table,(make it 5 images per row). I tried n-th child method, and it did not work.... Thanks!

Hello,

Why don't you try to make a css rule with a descendent selector of the list elements and then give them a width in a percent value?

div[id="tableRow1"] li {
    width: 20%;
}

That way every image will use 20% of the total width of the page. If your total width is 100% and every image takes up to 20%, then there would be 100/20 = 5 images per row. You'll have to float them left and use the clear property where it's necessary.

It's not gonna be exactly 20% because you'll have to consider the margins, paddings and other properties that take up space but you get the idea.

Hope that helps. Good luck!
