2 of the most useful internet readymades (webbymades?); jQuery and LightBox. jQuery is one of the more prominent javascript frameworks, and now even faster than before. LightBox is a javascript and css web application for pop ups and galleries; currently being used in a previous iteration on my site.
Unfortunately Lightbox does NOT work with jQuery. But Thickbox does.
I suggest jLightbox for using Lightbox with jQuery. (http://drupal.org/project/jlightbox)
Though it is drupal module, it works perfectly everywhere.
I think I may be missing necessary javascript. I am getting 2 javascript errors that do not permit me to close the gallery twice and the do not allow the close button image to appear ever. It is a little wonky but as close as I have found anywhere. I did find this in my search to answer my questions about jLightbox, http://warren.mesozen.com/, which may or may not be a better solution.
In reply to the post by allank, jLightbox is a packaged version of the jQuery Lightbox found at http://warren.mesozen.com/. jLightbox, however, was build on V 0.2 of the jQuery Lightbox, and i’ve recently updated the script to V0.3. I believe the problems you mentioned have been addressed in this release. If not, feel free to report any bugs to krewenki [at] gmail.
Cheers!
Excellent! I works great as far as I’m concerned. I tweaked the code:
$('#outerImageContainer').animate({width: widthNew},400,'linear',function(){
$("#outerImageContainer").animate({height: heightNew},400,'linear',function(){
Lightbox.showImage();
});
});
with this code:
$('#outerImageContainer').animate({
width: widthNew,
height: heightNew
},300,'linear',function(){
Lightbox.showImage();
});
so that the height and width animate at the same time. Now we need some dev time to get html, modals, and ajax in the jLightBox window.
Great work man!
A new version of jLightbox has been released. It is similar to Warren’s v0.3, but contains some additional bug fixes.
Get it from http://drupal.org/project/jlightbox
Try Shadowbox. Great solution

I like that, it’s a good product. I only ended up using jLightbox because it allowed me to work it so that it would be functional in IE6 and it used jQuery at the time.
