@Devin, no it wouldn’t. Use position:relative and modify the top/left instead of margin. This way the flow of the elements stays intact.

@Devin, i saw that and searched for an alternative (which i found over here)… but you´re right. it´s a minor detail. due to the fact that i´m only a designer, i´m still in trouble. while leaving the “zoom”-effect out solves that problem, i still don´t know how to load images from an external countainer. what i´m serching for is a solution where i only display one img at a time (sliding by click on button) that loads from an link. for e.g. http://mydomain.com/images

… thanks a lot if you could help.

@Kaiser, If you use an OS X dock with magnification, you’ll notice the other icons slide away from the one that is currently enlarged. While it may be a little annoying, it would take a lot of work to fix a minor detail.

hi. i just realised, that your (beautiful) tutorial could be brought one little step further. when the icons enlarge, they always move to the left side. this causes some sort of “shaking” of the icon. maybe it could be prevented by centering the zoomed in icon. thanks a lot for this tutorial!
