A good point Tedd. Sometimes we strive to be over complex, when simplicity would probably be better.
I have seen plenty of examples of what I want to achieve, but they all rely on each thumbnail being accessible to ":hover" without triggering any adjacent ones. The only way round that one would be to include a large space between elements to allow the pointer to navigate without triggering. Absolutely wonderful for a CSS "maze" but totally useless to the normal user! <g> The jury's still out on whether to use a peripheral array of thumbnails using a fly-out on :hover, or whether to use a block of thumbnails (which would allow an infinite number next to each other) with the fly-out triggered by mouse clicks. I certainly won't be resorting to JavaScript and I'm sure CSS will achieve a satisfactory method.

The typical way is of course to move the pointer across things and then click on what you want to see -- that's simple enough and expected. To put a delay into that functionality so that user doesn't have to click, then you'll have to use javascript. But what if a user does click during that time? Do you want the image to enlarge? I think you'll find this is a bigger problem than what you might imagine. My advice, keep it simple and what the user expects. Besides, without javascript that's what it's going to do anyway, right?
