Using "position: fixed;"

Using "position: fixed;" fixes an element within the browser window (except in older IE, which does not understand "fixed".) I don't think that's what you want. From your code, it looks like you are attempting an elastic ("em" based) layout, but it's hard to tell from this snippet, especially as I don't know the sizes of your images.

Here's an example that works with different image sizes and a variable number of images. It may be overkill for your needs, but it is very flexible:

You can omit the @media stuff at the end of the <style> block - Opera these days is fine with the rest of the code.

For other (simpler?) ideas, I suggest putting your attempt on the Web so we can see the actual images and layout.
