JavaScript

I am creating a gallery using jQuery which displays pictures horizontally, with a "left" and "right" button below, that scrolls the row of images. There are plenty of tutorials and plugins for this.

The problem for me though, is that 1) I don't know the width of the images. And 2) I need the item I scroll to, to be centered.

How do I go about this?

Thanks a lot, Gorm
