This is exactly what I have been looking for. Was going to ask in one of the forums for a Lightbox alternative (Lightbox doesn’t seem to work well with IE6) but this saves me the trouble and gives me a far more complete answer than I would have received. Thank you!

Well done and thanks for the hard work you put into this.
