Preview the photos in a gallery by hovering on its thumbnail

Hey everyone,

I've made a new customisation which allows you to see the first 5 photos in a gallery by hovering over the gallery thumbnail:

Unfortunately, since it requires JavaScript you won't be able to install it onto your site, but maybe SmugMug can look at this and consider adding it as a new feature

Lamah, that's very cool! I would definitely use it if/when it's available on SM (if/when I migrate). I see good potential for helping my visitors navigate my site, by previewing a gallery before deciding whether to select it. Thank you.

One thing perhaps you could take a look at... In IE10, it only previews the first one photo in the gallery.

Ah, true. I've seen it do maybe two at most and then it halts. I'll have to look into that further, thanks!

Lamah, you've been such a great resource and I thank you! My question how to either change the font color on thumbnails without changing the site font color or another way of making the captions/titles stand out more on thumbnails and also how to prevent them from changing (to none) on mouse overs?
Thanks!
