Picture display?

[ZeptOr]

What would be a good way to display a bunch of pictures? I could just have a bunch of thumbnails that link to a larger image, but I'm thinking that I could do better. Any suggestions?

I remember this one site that had this really neat thing. When you clicked on one of the pictures, the entire page got darker and in a shade of grey, then the image would appear in the center. So everything was darker but the image, and it was all on the same page. That probably involves a lot of scripting knowledge though

that was probably flash with some action script. anything real fancy that you use might use will probably involve flash

It could be done with javascript, in an ajax-type way.

okay what about this

A box shaped frame in the center of my site, and thumbnails below it outside the frame. When you click on the thumbnails the picture shows up in the frame

okay so here is a question

is it possible to have an image rollover while in the lightbox viewer? I haven't figured out how to do this yet, is it even possible?

@ ZeptOr: For an image rollover do you mean that another picture appears over the top of the existing picture? Or that the next image in the 'bunch of pictures' you have is displayed when you roll your mouse pointer over it? I know that for the Lightbox, once the mouse is over the picture (i.e. a mouse rollover), a small image appears on the right of the picture reading "next".
