Anyone knows of a Rails Plugin or Javascript that would easily place an  
image control box around an image? Please look here:

Look for an image with image control. If you click on the image, it will  
show in full width. Otherwise you can scroll along its width.

Thanks for the reply. I rather like the feature on [dpreview.com](http://dpreview.com) because  
it’s non modal – and would not interfere with the rest of the site. I  
was hoping there could be a non-modal method of achieving the same thing  
I am looking for.

When lightbox is up, it blocks the rest of the site ☹

THanks
