Using other strengths of Dynamic HTML, we can build on this simple routine. For instance, we could incorporate the Dynamic Images routines from column3 to allow the images to be zoomed. We could make the JavaScript more elegant by creating a function to create and populate the array.
Sometime in the not-too-distant future, we will come back to look at the data strengths of Navigator's Regular Expressions and Explorer's data binding. Just like lists, the features we could add are endless.
