Hi there I been studying and learning Drupal for over a year, but this is my first time asking for help in the forum. I've been pounding my head on the keyboard but can't seem to find a simple solution to this.
I have created a travel web site which I have a bunch of hotels listed and info entered, I am wanting to upload images for each hotel. I am using CCK and imagefield to upload the images, and have it set to accept multiple images in the node. I also have imagecache installed to display them as thumbnails, which is working just fine.
I can upload multiple images to the node but the thumbnails show up in a vertical display which takes up a lot of space, I am trying to make them display horizontal like in a grid display. I know I can do a grid display with views but I wouldn't think I would need to do this, I have looked through display fields and the cck field options but have had no luck. I could like it when I upload the images to display in the full node like this automatically, can someone please tell me what I'm missing here??

Use WYSWYG and IMCE to show images in a node
I use the above modules on my site and it works very well. In addition to displaying the images, I also can position them, add alt tags, etc. Note that when you set up WYSIWYG module it will ask you what editor you want to use (Tinymce, FKedit, etc)

I was afraid of that, I didn't want to have to do the wysisyg thing or other fancy stuff, but guess I have no choice. I think I am going to enter each pic as a node and use the View Reference module to display the images like I want. Seems to be the best solution I can find, going to experiment with it this weekend and see how it goes. My original sites I handcoded in PHP so I'm not scared of jumping into code, but I'm just trying to learn how to do things the Drupal way. Thanks for the comments guys
Not need to use wysisyg, you
Not need to use wysisyg, you can just apply css, much easier than what you suggest and easier to maintain.
Got what I needed
I found what I needed yesterday, I just used the Image module which has the Image Attach function included with it. It makes each picture its own node and creates the thumbnails automatically, the thumbnails don't display perfectly in the node but I'm pretty sure I can fix that with some css later. But for now I got what I wanted, thanks for the tips!
