Good idea, but please remember that for someone with problems of co-ordination or fine muscle control, hovering can be extremely difficult. I've encountered javascript image galleries which work like this, and on a bad day I find them completely unusable.

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.
