A simple CSS photo-album

Information
I have had many requests for a simple photo-gallery in which there is a horizontal row of numbers across the bottom of the gallery, and when your visitors click any of these numbers a corresponding full size image is displayed above.
Well this is about as simple as it gets. The text numbers and images are held in an unordered list without any extra markup (no 'ems' or 'spans' etc). The CSS just styles the text numbers so that they appears in a box and the images so that they are hidden until your visitor clicks a number square.
I have used both landscape and portrait images to show how these can be accommodated and have limited the sizes to 320 x 240 pixels and 240 x 320 pixels just to show the method. You can, of course, resize this to fit any size/combination of images.
