I would not use the .div. - ./div. Tags within the table divisions.

You can use
.td align=center valign=top.

You can also get by with only one width per column in a table. Don't confuse
the browser by putting different widths in the same column in a table.
If the first row has all of the widths listed, all of the other rows will
have the same width.
You can get by with assigning the width to a column in the last row of a
table too, but I prefer the first row where the cell is defined by itself,
not more than one column wide.

I also like to add borders to the table cells while I am working on it, then
remove them when I am done. That may tell you why you sometimes get captions
to the side of pictures.
.Table align=center width=90% border="1".
Then when you get things like you want them, just change the border="1" to
Border="0"

It may be less boring to have them in variable width cells, but IrfanView
will make a photo web page with thumbnail links to each photo in an instant,
and so much easier.

The code is quite straight forward and plainly written so it would be easy
to edit it and easy to read so you can modify it if you want, changing the
captions from filename and/or size to what you want.
