displaying images side by side in a table

I have a use care where I should display images side-by-side instead of below each other. I have a table which is grouped by some property. this property can have multiple images(0 or n images). I can display the images below each other, but next to each other with a max of 3 per row I just can't figure out... Can anyone give me a hint on how to do this? I allready tried using a frid inside my table, but that doesn't help either, that just displays one image in the first placeholder of the grid

Hi bvanvelsen

Take a look at this blogpost: http://enterprisesmartapps.wordpress.com/2012/03/01/creating-a-multi-column-birt-report-with-grouping/

It's not using images, but you'll get the idea.

Hope it helps

There are a few ways to do this. You can use a sub grid in your cell if you know the number of images before hand. If you dont, you can create a larger number of columns in your table, and use a visibility expression to hide the unused columns. Or, you can select the containing cell (or element), and using the Property Editor, go to the Advanced section, and under the Section area, change the Display tag from "Block" to "Inline". This will put all elements in the cell inline instead of pushing them down to the next line.
