PIP previews possible?

[trish....@gmail.com]

This is a terrific site, and a great start at replicating a bookstore
or library browse-the-shelf experience. Really nice work here!

The only thing I found distracting was the pop-ups used for title-
detail pages and needing to hit ESC/close the window to return to the
shelf page. Would it be possible to preview these title-detail links
without clicking or leaving your current page, using a mousever
technique? I think it would improve the browse experience quite a
bit.

I actually use a Cooliris Previews product http://cooliris.com/site/firefox/with
Firefox for regular browsing that does previews for straight-up web
pages, but it doesn't seem to work inside Zoomi.

Thanks and keep up the good work.

Thanks Trish!

I'll think about mouseovers some more.  I haven't figured out how to display them well yet.

I'll look into the Cooliris problem.

There are technical advantages to having that popup. Let’s just say it
gives the entire page with thousands of images time to load. You see,
just imagine if you put that many images on a webpage how long it
would take to load. All the time it takes to load those images, you
have probably lost 9 out of 10 visitors to your website because it
took longer than 3 seconds to load. Rather than lose the customer,
give them something to look at while the page prepares to work at its
utmost efficiency.

As for me, its pure genius. :)
