Just showing the picture is plain though. As you can see from the
code, it also has a title and a caption (close to go back or
whatever). I can do it via php though. I never thought to go that
direction. Hmmm.... I will have to work on that. I do hate js and
try not to use it when I can.

Question: What do you mean popups are inaccessible? You mean for
accessibility features or do you mean popup blockers?
