Mouse over a smaller image and display a large one?

[humour]

re:Mouse over a smaller image and display a large one?

Because IE now almost always doesnt display popups (unless the user clicks to allow them).

I want to:

- Throw away my old web-design which had users click on a smaller image and have a larger image popup in a new browser window...

What I want is:

Users to mouse over a smaller image and have a larger one show up

q1: Anybody have example code to do this?
q2: Any comments on this approach?
q3: Anybody disagree that this is a BETTER approach given that IE is now quite unfriendly when it comes to using POPUPS legitimately.

Thanks in advance.

You'll have to use either JavaScript or CSS to achieve the affect you are looking for, although both methods may come with certain obstacles. For example, if you use JavaScript what happens if the user has JavaScript disabled? If you use CSS (and the "hover" attribute) then what happens if the user's browser doesn't support CSS?

The best accessible method, would be to simply show a thumbnail and use an anchor tag to direct the user to:

1) The image directly
2) A page which displays the full size image
