Question

I’m currently fooling around with the Flickr API and am trying to make it so that I can search any image terms and a bunch of Flickr images would appear. However, I also want it so that when I click on the image, it sort of pops out while the background and everything else gets dark and you can’t click it. Would I also need an “X” to close the picture after it’s clicked so the user can continue surfing my site?

FancyBox is your new friend, treat him well.
