OK guys here's the hack that seems to differ between XP and classic
style on XP box. Tested with both IE and FF.  Don't have Win2k and
Vista boxes to test - have to wait until get to the office, but sure
(well, almost) Vista will work similar to XP, so the scrollTop in
combination with client OS will give the needed result.  If I'm not
mistaking, win2k is Classic by default.  Wanna see how it's different?
remove "visibility:hidden;" from div style and see for yourself.  It
is im****tant that the img size is exactly 197x119 to work with the div
sized 190x139px; for any other image size the div needs to be resized
the same number of px as the img.  Please note - this is 'quick and
dirty', surely not production quality but good enough as a concept
proof.
;)

Any comments will be greatly appreciated.
