I’ve been looking for, but haven’t found, a plugin that will let the user slide an image larger than the screen using mouse movements within a frame.

Click on the picture to enlarge once, click on the full size link on the bottom left of the enlargement and then click once more (the cursor should be a magnifying glass.) Now the image is at full size. There’s no way to get back to the site except the BACK button on your browser. Until I find a plugin that works the way I want this will have to do.

The fun is in the moment and the whole point is play - although I usually get something off my chest and learn something too!
