I'd like to thank everyone for their help in making our Image Gallery 
template more accessible:

http://mit.edu/ocwhq/content/image/samplegallery.html

Now I've turned my attention to the "popup" page containing the large 
version of the image.

I've included extra navigation in the <head> element along with the actual 
<a> based navigation, as well as accesskeys and tabindex.

However I can't figure out a good way to attach the image caption to the 
image so I've filled in the ALT text. Doesn't this seem redundant?

I created an "Up" navigation option but even though I opened this "popup 
window" with target="_blank", there's no way to get that "Up" navigation to 
go back to the original window as far as I can tell. Is there?

Anything else before we begin creating our image galleries for this cycle? 
I think we're good to go.

Thanks again!
