[Cialug] image viewer

[Matthew Nuzum]

A good keyword to search for is "lightbox." That's what these things are
being called now. I don't know any that work supper on desktop and mobile,
but the nice thing is that the good ones simply take a list of images with a
special CSS class and turn them into lightboxes, so that they degrade
nicely.

<a href="big-image.jpg" class="lightbox">
  <img src="small-image.jpg" alt="This is an image">
</a>

When you click the small image it will expand and have a caption that says
"this is an image." You can often group them as well so that you get next
and previous buttons for free. You could use one which ignores mobile
browsers and then use a media query stylesheet that formats it to look nice
on a mobile.
