You could certainly do that with CSS. You'll want to add javascript to
control how the image shows and fades, positioning etc.
For maximum accessibility, have the thumbnail link to the main image,
then have your Javscript/CSS hijack the link and show the image.
Everyone wins.

Any thoughts on using CSS hover properties to show larger images?
The scenario I'm envisioning is one where you'd have small thumbnails
of samples, and hovering the mouse over them would invoke a hover
state in which a larger version of that same image would
appear..."Larger" meaning 400x600 pixels, or in that neighborhood.
Is this not wise from a coding perspective? How about usability? Do
web page visitors not expect this kind of behavior..would it be
confusing to them as to what they're supposed to do, or what to expect?
I'm wanting to use CSS to do what javascript rollovers do, only
without the javascript.
thanks for any feedback or opinions.
