showing larger images in pop up window.

I would like to have the user click on a thumb in a photo gallery to view a larger image with a single line of text below it, AND a button which would close the window.

Is there any way this can be done inline with <a ref...>? Or is there a better option?.

I have seen javascript which will open other html documents into a resizeable window. I have a few snippets of code which would close the window, but this code would have to be added into the html of the new window. Also this method would seem to require that I write a separate html file for every single thumbnail in the gallery. Rather wasteful...

Is there anyway I can do all this from within the HTML tag <a href...>?
Or does someone have a suggestion on the best way to proceed.

I don't want to use features only available on a specific browser.

Thanks in advance,

Gil
