one more way to skin a deer ...

An admittedly strange name for a galleryscript, the more that it is no script because JavaScript has to do with it only by its absence. Confused enough? Fine.

So what is this about?

The shown concept was back in 2003 part of my projectwork in a webdesign-course where i opposed three identically image-galleries, the first one realized with flash, the second one with JavaScript and the third one - the one its all about - with pure HTML and CSS.

The inspiration for this third gallery have been the CSS-experiments on lofotenmoose.info, back in 2003 still literarymoose.info. The - picked up there too - saying "There are many ways to skin a deer" gave me the title, just "one more way ...". The sample on literarymoose.info used CSS-selectors like :hover and :hover:after to insert image-content into a page. It worked with Firefox and Opera, it did´nt with MSIE. As i am not locking out this browser (like literarymoose.info and lofotenmoose.info) my approach was a little more low tech, in return it works with MSIE too.

I do not see this as the future of image-presentation, but it is a - in my opinion - nice gimmick and at least a possibility to realize a gallery with thumbnails without any script, plugin, whatever.
