I have a website with many images, and I want my surfers to be able to hover with their mouse over the pics, see sections of the pic enlarged, and allow them to zoom in and out.
I saw a magnifying glass used on this website:

and when moving it over the coin and zoom in, it looks just awesome.
Does anybody know how to get and install such magnifier?
Thanks for your help!

That is IMHO quite a crude example, I am sure I have seen other better ones around but can't remember off the top off my head. I think it was maybe something to do with mootools but don't quote me on that, in the meantime there is this one which uses flash and is 10 fold better then your example and quite cheap to buy, if you have a non-commercial site I think you can apply for it for free.

Thanks, at some time I may add the magnifier you referred me to.
