Hi everyone,
I'm hoping someone can tell me if there is a drupal module that will recreate the column of images with dropdown captions in the UK online newspaper site http://www.guardian.co.uk/ (third column). Or indeed if there's some other way of doing this in Drupal 6. Thanks a lot, Mike.

CSS stuff
If I'm not mistaking, the neat drop-downs are created with some CSS and javascript stuff.
I don't know any Drupal module that does what you want out of the box, but for someone who knows CSS and JS (ie not me) it shouldn't be that difficult to put in a Drupal theme.

textimage
I'm pretty sure the textimage module does this but I can't find a demo for the life of me. Try it and see.
I'd look at jquery
There are a million ways to do stuff like this. I'd look at jquery (since its already used with drupal.)
Just a quick websearch found this example/tutorial:

Very helpful
Thanks all of you for your suggestions - I'll look at them all.
I also found a textimage tutorial: http://www.deciphered.net/blog/2009/02/14/howto_mouseover_labels_textimage that might prove useful and does have a demo, IbnDrupal.
