This is behaviour - even navigation - and therefore not the job of
CSS. A good clean unobtrusive script is better in this case - one that
does the mouseover stuff you talked about but also changes the image
and description when you click on the image. Mouseover only does not
help users of keyboards.

Generally CSS can only show and hide stuff that is _inside_ the
element you have yout mouse on. This means you could achieve your
effect by nesting the images and descriptions to be shown inside a
link and position them on hover. However, on MSIE this seems to cause
horrible flickers.

CSS is there to style stuff, not to add behaviour.
