Picture or photo viewer on my Web site

Lets say I let the customer upload up to 5 pictures. I'm looking for a good way to let visitors see the images one by one.

I've seen some.. where there are thumbnails on the side/bottom (that looks like a vertical/horizontal film strip) and the default picture is the large one displayed. And viewers can click into others to show those pictures.

This could possibly be an AJAX solution. I just couldn't come up with the right keywords to Google this custom Web component. Perhaps it is "photo gallery". But I would be more interested to know what solutions developers here use for their site.

There are several options but on first thought, I would reach for the fancybox jQuery plugin. The third example on their home page does exactly what you described. I've used this plugin a few times now and it's quite good.

Is something like this Galleria what you're after?

It's all implemented in Javascript so is simple to integrate.

Perhaps lightbox is the keyword you're looking for: http://www.google.com/search?q=lightbox
