[Pro] ways to get content on a page?

I am using carousel to display about 30 products across the top right of the page, in blocks of 5 (5 products in a line). I want to be able to click on a product and open a box below it with a larger photo and copy and a link.

The only option I seem to be able to come up with are:

  1. Frames… and I know the problems and would like to avoid

  2. Carousel… Could work but this means hiding 30 HTML boxes and would create an enormous file, right?

  3. Show/hide layer w/ fade… This is the most elegant solution visually, but a bear to keep all those layers straight and I think I still have the same bloated page problem. (any way to have the layers not load until needed?)

Am I missing another alternative? I know I could just link to a new page and repeat all the page elements but that’s not a practical option for me. (the reason is, these products appear in multiple themed pages… I would end up creating a new page for every product, multiplied times the number of themes.) YIKES!

All Ideas welcomed and appreciated!
