I'm wondering if it might be possible to make a slight mod to the new EXPANDO script.

I'd like to be able to add to the js file so that when the image expands, a line of text appears under the image. The line of text would be the same for every image that expands. Any ideas?

Thanks

The script itself doesn't necessarily need modification for this. That sort of thing may be done with ordinary style and simple javascript events. See the cat here:

That's almost PERFECT! Just what I'm looking to do. But, for complicated reasons, I need to be able to do that by altering only the js file.

That would be more than a simple modification. When I get some time, I'll look into it. But let's set at least one parameter first. Could we have markup like:

<div>
<img class="expando" src="cat.png" alt="" width=250 height=137>
<span class="line"><br>&nbsp;</span>
</div>

for each image that you want to receive this treatment? The span and container division could have other class and/or id names and/or style if you wanted them to, but the above is the bare bones markup required to make this relatively easy.
