Yes, and while we're on the topic of things that won't work on phones
and iPads....is there anything else we need to know about that also
won't play nice with those two handheld platforms?
Is a different design perspective in order now? Do we now design for
the iPad and for phones, and have desktop and notebook users simply
have that as what they see?
or are we back to sniffer scripts and multiple versions of our pages?

Caution with the use of hover for such purpose if you also want
touchscreen device user able to use it.
In regards of touchscreen, this article explains it better than I
can do.

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.
