Show / Hide Layers w/o javaScript

[cavey5]

My website has news articles and we usually display a photo with each article. We'd like to show five photos though and have the ability to scan through them with links. Is there a way to do this by showing / hiding CSS layers, and not using JavaScript? Or, what is the best way to do it with javaScript?

Check out the photogallery demos at css play - http://www.cssplay.co.uk/menu/ - some of them do what you are looking for using only css.

Alright, i checked those out and found a suitable option, however I am having one problem adjusting the style. Can someone point out which element to adjust to move the navigation buttons (numbers) up below the photo? I cannot get any of them to work  ???
