I've done a few searches both here and in JavaScript forums, and though I am sure I have seen something on this in the past in these forums, I cannot find what I am looking for - so I will post my question to you.
I want to add small thumbnail images to my site, which on mouseover, expand to the full-size image. I have seen similar effects on the web, though I can think of no specific sites at the moment to check out how they have done so.
I did search DynamicDrive, but the closest I can find is a few on-click scripts, which also require a second click to close the new larger image. I simply want the image to expand in place on mouseover, and shrink when the mouse leaves the (larger) image. Preferably visibly expanding and contracting, but an instant pop-out effect would be acceptable too.
How should I go about doing this? I had a few ideas, but nothing is working well at all so far. In fact, all of my ideas have created extremely crappy results.
Thanks!
[edit] . . . . Oh, almost forgot one element of this I want to have - I want the new, larger images to expand and cover the text or nearby images, not push everything away as it expands.
