I've seen some nice screenshot popups around the web, do you know of any library to do that? I could write my own, but... if there's something free I can save time.

Thanks!

Sounds like you want a lightbox.

jQuery lightbox gets my vote.

Dead simple - no point me writing examples, its all there on the site.

Excellent. I've been using lightview and lightbox (separate apps), and they've both been a bit cryptic to work with. jQuery one as you point out is so simple to use.

This one does not work on my page - it opens the image way off in the wrong location.

You didn't say whose website you want thumbnails from, or how many thumbnails. Look at Alexa's service:

Dojo has two: Lightbox and Lightbox Nano (links are directly to nightlies, this server can be slow).

Multibox is also quite popular
