You know how I mentioned that I was working on a better method of doing it with custom CSS?
Well, I came up with it just now:
img.hover-full:hover {
width: auto;
position: relative;
}
Then on the image you want to enlarge on hover, just use the code:
[[image IMAGE_URL class="hover-full" width="SMALLER_WIDTH"]]
So now you can use smaller images which show full size on hovering. I've pasted the CSS onto this site's theme, so I can show you an example below. Be pre-warned, however! If you hover over this image, your computer monitor may crack from an overdose of chronic ugliness:
[[image http://jameskanjo.wikidot.com/local--files/images:coldplay-concert/james_kanjo_coldplay.jpg class="hover-full" width="100px"]]
