For those who didn't notice yet... Google's image search has been changed a little.

Not noticed, check it out.

Got it... when the mouse is hovered on the image needed, u get more details (like site & size) on the highlighted image.

Some people like it... some don't, although it's a pretty kool touch.

How to remove it...

Internet Explorer
* visit Google Images
* go to Internet Options
* in the Security tab, select “Restricted” and click on “Custom level” button
* browse to the Miscellaneous section, enable “Allow META REFRESH” and “Launching programs and files in an IFRAME” (you’ll get that these settings will put your computer at risk, which is not really true) and click OK
* click on the “Sites” button and add images.google.com (the site should already be in the text box).
​
Firefox
Go to your Firefox profile. For Windows XP, go to Start/Run and type:
%appdata%/Mozilla/Firefox/Profiles/
Then click on your profile’s folder and open user.js in Notepad (if you can’t find it, create a blank text file named user.js). Add these lines at the end of the file:
user_pref(”capability.policy.policynames”, “nojs”);
user_pref(”capability.policy.nojs.sites”, “*images.google.com”);
user_pref(”capability.policy.nojs.javascript.enabled”, “noAccess”);
You should replace images.google.com with your localized version (for example: images.google.co.uk).
Then restart Firefox.
​
Opera
* go to Google Images
* right-click and select “Edit site preferences”
* go to the Scripting tab
* uncheck “Enable JavaScript”
* click OK and refresh the page

If I am not wrong, this feature was added sometime ago, for 1 or 2 days then was removed. Now its back, right ??

I have certainly seen it before. I like it. Btw how is it done ? JavaScript or I have heard google is using AJAX in much of its prducts.
