I'm trying to use lightbox and I am not a programmer by any means. I'm trying to use this:
http://www.huddletogether.com/pr…except when I click my image I have it set up for, it just opens up in a new page as per the first comment on that page ^. he mentions a fix, but I have no idea what he's referring to and this is the only script I'm using.
could anyone point me in the right direction or show me an easier script?

there's a version 2 of this that's better:

LightWindow is good too:

Also make sure you're pointing to the right path for the js file. You'd be surprised how often that's the problem. :)

If you're a hack and using DW, there is a extension on the adobe site that makes it very easy.

well it works now, but the image doesn't show up- just the black transparency.

image path is fine...
- doesnotexist0
hmm weird it shows up 1000pxls to the right.

I don't get it- image in the lightbox is shifted way over. anyone know why?

It's not shifting for me, but I'm going to guess it's because you have horizontal scroll. Use the new version of light whatever, and it may sort itself out.

I would suggest lightwindow over lightbox, unless lightbox has added new features to allow for opening many more different types of media and files.
Have a look at this, for example:
http://www.mg33.net/photos2/japa…That's using lightwindow to open an HTML page with simpleviewer.
All I'm saying is, lightbox is a little limiting; if you're going to spend the time getting it right/figuring it out, I'd go with something a little more versatile.

^ that's fancy

ok so lightbox 2.04 works better, but as you can see the photo isn't even above the black thing. what's the deal here?
- Shaney0
looks like your z-index: divs are above the image (in your css file). Try giving the image div a high z index, but I would look at lightwindow as suggested above.

the html comment in the css file is breaking it.
also, font-color is not a valid property, and "none" isn't a valid background-color (transparent)

I see there's a lightbox app on the Adobe DW site, but it only offers it for CS4. DO they have one for CS3?
I'm using this one right now, but it's giving me issues when I test it on Safari... Only works on ForeFox

Shit, do any of you fine gents want to check this and tell me why are my lightbox photos taking sooooo long to load? Thanks!
- OSFA0

- acescence0

That's crazy... did you get any type of message? I just checked and they are all there... the page loads fine but then when I click on any image, it freezes :(
