jQuery Lightbox Version 0.5
After a long hiatus, jQuery Lightbox has been given a much needed push to completion. Thanks to some help from google code user
- Multiple instances of lightbox galleries are now allowed
- Added support for navigation bar on top
- Added support for toggling of displaying a title
- Added support for toggling of sliding the navigation bar
- Added a help dialog, that can be toggled
- Added a fit to screen feature
- Removed some custom functions in place of some jQuery equivelents (width/height, destroying elements)
- All strings are now in opts.strings allowing for customization/localization
- Fixed the dreaded IE CSS bugs
On top of that, i’ve made a few tweaks to the animation, which I plan on being an option in 0.6 or 1.0 (if this release works well for all).
I highly recommend that everyone upgrade to this release, as it’s far more feature complete, and feels like a solid product. As always, please comment with any comments/issues, and they’ll hopefully be worked into the next version. For now, download jQuery Lightbox 0.5.
Cheers!

Are you still developing this?

Yes, i’m still working on this. Development was in a bit of a lull for a while because work was taking up all my programming time. The google code project is where you can see all the activity http://code.google.com/p/jquery-lightbox .

David,
I took a quick look at your site, and I couldn’t see where you actually initialize the lightbox. You’ve included the script just fine, but now you’ve got to call:
$(document).ready(function(){ $.lightbox(); });
When you do that, things should start to work for you.

Hi there,
i’m spending several hours trying to understand why the Lightbox script (version 0.5) is not working on this website: http://robybates.com/index.html
But just when i use Internet Explorer 7 on a laptop.
Just try to open the lightbox from the first carrousel…no thing happens on if you use a PC laptop on IE 7
Is this a bug?
Any suggestion?
Thanks.

I have a strange problem going on, just wondering if this has ever happened to anyone else or if it’s something I caused myself. Any page that I turn lightbox on for makes the floats in my header collapse on top of each other in IE7. It’s some mouse over event that is causing it I believe. I’ve tested the problem with .3 and .5 and still have the problem with both. However, when I remove lightbox, even though I’m leaving in jquery and another jquery plugin, the problem goes away.
Again this is only a problem in IE7 (that I’ve seen)

Hi,
I would like to insert a list of image urls in an array (eg: img1.jpg, img2.jpg, img3.jpg) and when light box, for example, loads the img2.jpg, it shows the next and previous button (because “it know” that there is img1.jpg before and img3.jpg after). It’s possible?
Thx,
Yuri.
