title: manipulating css layers with javascript
body: <p>I am wondering if it is possible to have a sort of thumbnail image gallery, in which clicking on a thumbnail would show the full image in a layer. I was wondering if it was possible to load all layers and respective images and use javascript to change the z index or something similar to avoid having to reload or leave the page. I would prefer to avoid using a server side technology but don't know if this is possible.</p>
  
  <p>edit:</p>
  
  <p>I am not after a "lightbox" solution or anything that overlays the page, I rather want an image to appear as part of the page, and change without reloading the page, basically like PIctureSlide linked below. But more importanlt, I am wondering if this would be easy to write without using a framework, and if it would work as I thought above?</p>
