I just spent 3 hours analyzing tons of lightboxes, image galleries, jQuery plugins. Now I'm a bit frustrated.
I don't want a snazzy animation effect.
I don't want a pre-made layout.


This is what I want:

On page load, 12-15 bigger images are preloaded into browser cache.
Div#container contains a default image.
When user clicks a thumbnail link, the corresponding (bigger) preloaded image shows inside #container.


A jQuery solution would be good. Any assistance is mmmmmuch appreciated. :)

Can you not have all the large images on the page to start with, but hidden through JQuery... then when you click a thumbnail it hides all open large images and displays the one clicked on?
