So yes, I'd go with your hunch that it could be the TITLE for A. Depending on what other information you're providing on the enlarged view, and whether or not the images in the gallery have a sensible titles, you could probably go for something like <a href="..." title="View full details and large version of image"> <img src="..." alt="[TITLE OF IMAGE]" /> </a> or similar. IMHO, of course. Patrick ________________________________ Patrick H.
