I have been looking for a plugin that I could add to my sites that would enable image thumbnails to open on the same page as full size images. I came across LightBox just now and it looks very promising. I have tested it on a test blog, (always test on a test blog first) and it seems to be fine. I have found some minor bugs but I can live with them until it is perfected.
LightBox uses some fancy javascript but works in both IE and FF just fine. Simply put it will have all full size images open on the same page while graying out the background and leaving the full size image in the foreground. Pretty slick. Once the user clicks again on the page it reverts back to normal.
