Hello, Gemmers, quick techie question -

I'm trying to make a part of our website that has a lot of downloadable resources more exciting and engrossing to use - at the moment there's a load of slightly fuzzy jpeg 'large thumbnails' and links where you have to click to download if you really want to see what an item is (eg here<http://www.anewdirection.org.uk/programmes/connected-london/research-capacity-building-and-networking-activity/radical-efficiency-strategy-vision>).

I'd really like to find an embedded viewer where people can click or hover on an image in order to get an enlarged 'pop-up' view of the actual item, even flipping between pages, with an additional option to get a full download with an extra click.

Do any of you use such an approach with your own museum/education resources, etc?

I've been asked for an example from our comms manager, but despite being sure I've seen such things many times across the web, I can't for the life of me think of anything to show him.

Many, many thanks for your advice,

John
