[Help]Searching A Picture Expander

Jayson X Switzerland2431 Posts May 05 2008 15:25 GMT #1 Hi I was looking up and down the internet but i can't find a site with that viewer again. What it does is you click on a thumbnail and it expands the full resolution picture out of it without the hassle of opening a new window. It renders the site in the background darker and you can close the picture by clicking on it or a little x on the top right. Can someone point me to the right direction?

I can't remember how often I have cursed the sotes where the back button goes to far back, because they only did some js shit inbetween. to get it work, you probably can show a div with position:absolute and all margins to auto. How to get a darkened background I don't know. The backbutton probably can be made functional by using a hidden iframe.

( I'm assuming all but IE is just a pain in the ass ) - and what Doctype will you be using?
