My current gallery has the merit of being usable even without Javascript. In fact, that is true for almost the entire site.<< What about users that don't have a computer? Or adequate bandwidth? Requiring the end user to have Javascript just narrows the audience. But it's a much larger audience than most people can get with a printed (but unpublished) image. On a different topic, can any electronically distributed image really be considered fine art? The web is more like a magazine or newspaper than a museum wall. Currently I think electronic viewing of images is better suited to journalism that to fine art. Maybe someday when framed flat screen LCDs are as commonplace as framed paper images, that'll all change. IOW, you won't need to print an image for it to be considered fine art. Dave
