Can you post a link to what you have so far?

Another good option for a larger photo gallery is Zenphoto. It's clean and simple and takes care of a lot of the grunt work for you (creating thumbnails, linking etc.)

some people, and companies have javascript disabled so I am leery about making a java-based page

JavaScript and Java are two different languages (most Java apps require a download to work)

Anyway welcome to TWF!

So you want to roll your own? I usually start with some existing code to adapt - there are some good scripts at Dynamic Drive (I am sure they require JavaScript)

Here are some Google results for galleries that work with JS disabled

I can also recommend Gallery2 and Drupal has some ok galleries out of the box

This HTML & CSS should get you started. The right column will scroll, and the left one is for the large picture. I am not sure how do swap the pictures out w/o Javascript.

Adjust the widths/heights in the CSS as necessary. I have the borders in there to make the edges visible.

<style>
#container{
	border: 1px solid;
	margin: 0;
	padding: 0;
	width: 604px;
}

#container #large{
	border: 1px solid;
	margin: 0;
	float: left;
	width: 450px;
}

#container #thumbs {
	border: 1px solid;
	margin: 0;
	float: left;
	width: 150px;
	
	height: 300px;
	overflow-y: scroll;
	overflow-x: hidden;
}
</style>

<div id="container">
	<div id="large">
		&nbsp;
	</div>
	
	<div id="thumbs">
		&nbsp;
	</div>
	
	<div style="clear: both;"></div>
</div>
