Keep a consistent page length?

Hi, how can one keep a consistent page length? At this time, the last page of
my gallery has a single row whereas all the other pages has 3 rows. Thus, I
would like to have all pages have the same number of rows. If anyone knows how
to achieve this, please feel free to post to the group.

Thanks in advance,

-Conrad

More details? Is the gallery dynamically generated? URI?

It depends how you've done the page, but a simple way that works with
any design method is to have placeholder images saying "coming soon"
(for example, they could even be "blank" GIF images either the same as
the background colour or just using a transparent "colour") to fill up
the page to three rows. An example of this can be seen at

Hi, I have used DW8 to create a custom Photoshop CS gallery template. PS is
used to generate the actual index pages, thumbnails, and their associated pages
that can contain the larger image. At this time, the galleries are located in
the members area of the website. However, I would be happy to send the
templates if that would help. If you need any additional information, please
let me know.

Thanks in advance,

What gallery layout have you selected?

Since all the code is automated, I see a few options:
1) leave it as it is (is this a problem?)
2) add some dummy blank images to even out the page length
3) edit the code by hand (least preferred)

Then this sounds like a PS issue? Does PS have any way to tell it how
many images per page? If so, then tell it

Images per page = Total Images / Number of pages

If PS generates static pages and has no way to tell it how many images
per page, then, as John Waller indicates, your only way to get them even
is to hand-edit the resulting pages.

Hi, I'm just trying to keep some page consistemcy. Also, I'm planning on
updating the non-gallery pages as well so that I can have a consistent length
throughout the site. Thus, I would like to have a fix and consistent length
for every page of the site.
