I am thinking about rebuilding a quite huge picture website. It is almost all built with plain old html tables and no database.
Just changing the code to XHTML/CSS would be nice, but not so convenient. It will consume a LOT of time and the contents is often updated and all need to be ordered by the first letter and/or number.
I don't really need to enlarge pix in a JS/CSS box while the user mouses over.
I am more interesting to a kind of more standards compliant, easier to update and more modern version of a html table where you click on the thumbnail to see the large jpg file. Maybe something like a modified version of railpictures.net and deviantart.com picture pages. I don't mind coding in XHTML/CSS or PHP, but I don't like much coding JS/Ajax. It is a template or a script, it is ok as long it is free.
The current structure is domain.com/level 1 / level 2 / html-page-or-picture. So, I am not sure that I want to go with a db-generated menu on the front page and losing all the structure, especially if I have to leave the files wherever they're and it would create a messy transition during the days it will take me to rebuilt all the sections.
Any idea? I am scratching my head since several weeks.
