So, I'm doing a little website for a friend and part of it is a gallery.

I'd really like it to work like the one on Eurogamer. i.e. you click the thumbnail and the image loads in the middle of the screen and darkens the actual webpage behind.

Example: http://www.eurogamer.net/gallery.php?game_id=10235&article_id=403678#anchor

Does anyone know how this is done? I can't seem to get at the EG code to find the function.

Many thanks.

I just found this. It's pretty.

So, I used this one: http://www.lokeshdhakar.com/projects/lightbox2/

But you still get props for pointing me in the right direction. And it was indeed very very easy to use. Many thanks.
