hey that worked!
ok so what im trying to achieve .. is this paricular effect i have seen ( but now fail to find a site to use as an example) so its usually used in gallery's, so you have your pictures, and each one you click on, it will appear in the same way the code above has done, however ive seen it where it comes up with a flash load screen behind it? and the background ( site) fades out.

any ideas?

oh and im also trying to put a small button to close this new layerd window too.?

*trying to find an example..
