Hi All,
I have just added a slightly sexier image pop-up system to our website and I think it is pretty slick.

Click on here

www.prestigeaudio.co.uk/auto/audio-installs-auto-1-23.html

Then go into any install, and then 'click to enlarge' the main image (does that prompt need to be clearer?)

What do you think?

Cheers

Chris

At first, I hovered over the 'Click to enlarge' text but realised that in order enlarge, I need to click on the image itself. Maybe expand on the instruction a bit?

'Click on image to enlarge' ?

(just for balloon-heads like me)

Paul.

BTW lovely installs

I'm liking that.

Fairly easy to code?

Yes a slightly darker shade of grey or an info box when you hover the mouse over the image.

I noticed it says image blah of blah - add some next and previous arrows as well? It's a nice feature though!

Spiffy...

You should really use DIVs instead of tables for different sections. It would make the page easier to deal with (particularly if, for instance, a long page causes your left column to be unnaturally long) Why not use CSS for the menus? Might be a bit quicker to load. Finally, no DOCTYPEs in the documents.

But, spiffy, overall.

Lightbox is good isn't it? Very easy to integrate. I've recently used it on a project: autoblue.co.uk
