thanks i just want to write my own html template and have it lay stuff in is this possible
If you are referring to File>Automate>Web Photo Gallery, yes. In a standard Windows installation, the templates are in C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop 7.0\Presets\WebContactSheet. Each template is in a separate folder. Pick the template that is closest to what you want to do, copy the folder (keep it within WebContactSheet), and rename it. The new name will automatically show up in the Web Photo Gallery dialog. Edit the .htm files however you want. I'm not aware of any documentation, but you should be able to figure it out with some trial and error.
