This example shows 4 thumbnails chosen at random, when a thumbnail is clicked its larger self is opened in a new window sized to the image
The thumbnail and its larger self are coded into the array.
To adjust the number of images shown simply add or remove image tags from the thumbs div, the script dynamically adds the id and the onclick event to the image tags.
<script type="text/javascript">
