I was out on the web the other day searching around for some inspiration for a new website I am doing. I ran across a site http://www.webdesignerwall.com/trends/33-artistic-sites/ that uses a feature I have seen in some other sites, but am not sure how to do it. When you click on on of the thumbnails it grays out the background and then enlarges the thumbnail. I would like to do something like this for a recent work or portfolio section. It looks like this particular site accomplished this without using Flash, so I’m assuming it’s a combination of some JavaScript and CSS.
Has anybody ever done this or have suggestions as to how this could be done? Thanks!
