I would like to setup my gallery web page so that when a user clicks on the thumbnail image, a window pops up displaying a larger view of the image. I do not mean a pop up window as in a browser window but a window that is loaded within that same page and can be closed. I am not exactly sure how I would go about doing this. Any ideas?

Reset to default 5See Lightbox2. http://www.huddletogether./projects/lightbox2/
If you can use jQuery I would remend
Thickbox
These are also very good
Fancybox
Pirobox
Nyromodal
ImageBox
And a third option: jQuery Tools overlay
I believe the technique you're after is a lightbox (I think it was the first of these).
Thickbox is an awesome jQuery based clone, or there's about a million others out there :-)
Much advance option would be Magnific Or Gettopup
