hi,

I've 2 sets of thumbnails and in each set I'm displaying them one nearby each other in 4 columns using float:left.

I would like to "merge" the 2 sets (but I cannot change the html code) because I want the thumbnails of the second set floating right after the last thumbnail of the first set.

In other terms, if in the last row there are only 2 thumbnails and the last 2 columns are empty, the thumbnails of the second set should fill the empty columns of the last row of the first set.

This is the code...

<div class="field field-type-filefield field-field-image">
    <div class="field-items">
            <div class="field-item odd">
                    <a rel="lightbox[field_image][First image&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;/lancelmaat/content/stalkshow&quot; id=&quot;node_link_text&quot; class=&quot;active&quot;&gt;View Image Details&lt;/a&gt;]" href="http://localhost/lancelmaat/sites/default/files/files/projects/Stalkshow/images/LPrisPetjong.jpeg" class="lightbox-processed"><img width="89" height="89" title="" alt="First image" src="http://localhost/lancelmaat/sites/default/files/imagecache/galleryImage/files/projects/Stalkshow/images/LPrisPetjong.jpeg"></a>        </div>
              <div class="field-item even">
                    <a rel="lightbox[field_image][Second image&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;/lancelmaat/content/stalkshow&quot; id=&quot;node_link_text&quot; class=&quot;active&quot;&gt;View Image Details&lt;/a&gt;]" href="http://localhost/lancelmaat/sites/default/files/files/projects/Stalkshow/images/SeoulLEDScreen2a.jpeg" class="lightbox-processed"><img width="89" height="89" title="" alt="Second image" src="http://localhost/lancelmaat/sites/default/files/imagecache/galleryImage/files/projects/Stalkshow/images/SeoulLEDScreen2a.jpeg"></a>        </div>
              <div class="field-item odd">
                    <a rel="lightbox[field_image][Third image&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;/lancelmaat/content/stalkshow&quot; id=&quot;node_link_text&quot; class=&quot;active&quot;&gt;View Image Details&lt;/a&gt;]" href="http://localhost/lancelmaat/sites/default/files/files/projects/Stalkshow/images/SeoulSKT6.jpeg" class="lightbox-processed"><img width="89" height="89" title="" alt="Third image" src="http://localhost/lancelmaat/sites/default/files/imagecache/galleryImage/files/projects/Stalkshow/images/SeoulSKT6.jpeg"></a>        </div>

</div>


<!-- second set -->
<div class="field field-type-filefield field-field-video">
    <div class="field-items">
            <div class="field-item odd">
                    <a rel="lightbox[field_video][Video Number 1&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;/lancelmaat/content/stalkshow&quot; id=&quot;node_link_text&quot; class=&quot;active&quot;&gt;View Image Details&lt;/a&gt;]" href="http://localhost/lancelmaat/sites/default/files/files/projects/Stalkshow/videos/StalkSeoul8d1Mbps.flv" class="lightbox-processed"><img title="" alt="Video Number 1" src="http://localhost/lancelmaat/sites/default/files/imagecache/galleryVideo/files/projects/Stalkshow/videos/StalkSeoul8d1Mbps.flv"></a>        </div>
              <div class="field-item even">
                    <a rel="lightbox[field_video][Video Number 2&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;/lancelmaat/content/stalkshow&quot; id=&quot;node_link_text&quot; class=&quot;active&quot;&gt;View Image Details&lt;/a&gt;]" href="http://localhost/lancelmaat/sites/default/files/files/projects/Stalkshow/videos/stalkshowdvd21Mbps.flv" class="lightbox-processed"><img title="" alt="Video Number 2" src="http://localhost/lancelmaat/sites/default/files/imagecache/galleryVideo/files/projects/Stalkshow/videos/stalkshowdvd21Mbps.flv"></a>        </div>
              <div class="field-item odd">
                    <a rel="lightbox[field_video][Video Number 3&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;/lancelmaat/content/stalkshow&quot; id=&quot;node_link_text&quot; class=&quot;active&quot;&gt;View Image Details&lt;/a&gt;]" href="http://localhost/lancelmaat/sites/default/files/files/projects/Stalkshow/videos/StalkShowMoscow1Mbps.flv" class="lightbox-processed"><img title="" alt="Video Number 3" src="http://localhost/lancelmaat/sites/default/files/imagecache/galleryVideo/files/projects/Stalkshow/videos/StalkShowMoscow1Mbps.flv"></a>        </div>
        </div>
</div>

How can I merge these divs in order to use float:left property on their children ?
