Depends. There are a lot of techniques and styles for doing something like that.You could have a scaled down gallery of thumbnail images and one large image. When a thumbnail is clicked, change the src of the large image.You could have a gallery of thumbnails that, when hovered or clicked, would "grow" to their normal size.You could have a gallery of thumbnails that, when hovered or clicked, would popup a new "window" (not really a window, just a <div> or <img> tag) with the larger image in it.It all depends on exactly what kind of effect you want to achieve. You'll probably need to use JavaScript though. I can only think of one example that might work with pure CSS and HTML.

Oooh ok, basicly i want an affect of where i got alot of thumbnails, but when one of those thumbnails is clicked the images gets bigger and the background goes transparend black.
