I'm not sure if this is definitely a javascript technique but i think it is. Correct me if am wrong.

There's a technique where you have: when a user clicks on a small image, the main page gets greyed out, the image loads in full size in a seperate pop up window (but with no window frames) with maybe an option in the right hand side for you to choose next picture or a big "X Close" at the bottom for you to close the pop up.

You get what i mean?

Don't know what it's called and that's what i'm looking for. Also don't know how to implement it.

You will want to look up AJAX and Modal Popups.
