Rossko, thank you so much - you pointed me in the right direction on this one! I had naively tried to steer clear of delving into the relatively unknown with this challenge, and rightly caught myself stuck in a rut. The 'unknown' in this instance being AJAX - I'm not fully versed with it at all, I have some experience implimenting other people's code, but the concept of crafting something by myself with it was rather daunting. The challenge of learning something new has paid off though, I've managed to implement pretty much what I required for this solution and realised how brilliant AJAX is. I honestly didn't fully appreciate it capabilities until now! In brief the solution works like so: The drop down list (which is populated from a database driven XML file) when changed passes the location id value as a query string to another database driven XML file, which in turn pulls out the required images for that location and renders them (without postback) to the gallery page. When the thumbnails are clicked the lightbox code initiates and renders the full image on the screen.
