Hello.

I'm making a website, and I'm sort of a newbie. I'm making this gallery, and I'd like to have a fancy way of choosing some of the albums. What I want is that when a user hovers over an image, a black (almost) transparent box will appear on the image with a description in a white font. I was thinking that this box would slide up, and perhaps this could be done using jQuery. Is this possible to make?

Thanks in advance.
