JavaScript - Slideshow + Lightbox

I've never done java script, but I need this lightbox effect and I can never figure it out!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Vv0QVP2CzE

there's one tutorial I tryed, but for some reason, the light box never works, it always just opens in a new window. The website I got the codes from

http://www.lokeshdhakar.com/projects/lightbox2/#how

says that if it doesn't work there must be a conflicting code, but I don't have anything that I would see that would be conflicting this. I'm just trying to get a simple effect on a tutorial website I am creating so you can click the image and it enlarges in the lightbox.


Can anyone help me out here? I really would like to figure out this effect. Thanks

Hi,

I am using Lightbox+ and overall it's very good for my needs. However it has a small problem that is causing me to loose hair, I have tried to fix it but my grasp of Javascript just isn't cutting it.

If you goto http://serennz.sakura.ne.jp/toybox/lightbox/ and click on the image "Sample 2" then use the next arrow to go to "Sample 3" you have to hover off the image and then back on to get the previous and zoom icons to show again.

I have been able to make the bug occur every time in both Firefox 3.6 and
IE6.

I am guessing the mouseover event isn't triggering correctly due to the image object moving underneath the mouse pointer but I just can't fix it.

Any help, pushes in the right direction, anything.

Cam.

Figured it out... admin can delete.

I am making a simple lightbox without using the silly plugins and I want to know how to make the lightbox resize equally when its being loaded. I can only get it expand from the corner, I want it to stretch down then widen but equally on both sides.

this is the code im using:
Code:

// Javascript

<script language="javascript">
 $(function(){
 $("a#show-panel").click(function(){
 $("#lightbox, #lightbox-panel").animate({"height" : "400px"},2000);
 $("#lightbox, #lightbox-panel").animate({"width" : "400px"},2000);
 });
 $("a#close-panel").click(function(){
 $("#lightbox, #lightbox-panel").fadeOut(300);
 });
 });
</script>

// CSS

#lightbox {
 display:none;
 background:#000000;
 opacity:0.9;
 filter:alpha(opacity=90);
 position:absolute;
 top:0px;
 left:0px;
 min-width:100%;
 min-height:100%;
 z-index:1000;
} 

#lightbox-panel {
 display:none;
 position:fixed;
 top:100px;
 left:50%;
 margin-left:-200px;
 background:#FFFFFF;
 padding:10px 15px 10px 15px;
 border:2px solid #CCCCCC;
 z-index:1001;
}

// HTML

<a id="show-panel" href="#" class="small">Show Panel</a>

<div id="lightbox-panel">
<h2>Lightbox Panel</h2>
<p>You can add any valid content here.</p>
<p align="center">
<a id="close-panel" href="#" class="small">Close this window</a>
</p>
</div><!-- /lightbox-panel -->

<div id="lightbox"> </div><!-- /lightbox -->

Hi, could someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong with this page?

http://www.silvergatehomes.com/customhomestest.html

I've tried a bunch of things and cannot figure out what I'm doing wrong.

Thanks.

P.S. The reason I'm writing is because the images aren't opening.

I need help i have "installed" everything for lightbox and it runs but how 1 can i make it to click on a image and then open the light box and how can i get it over the frame?!
Please and thanks...

If you don`t know what i mean check out rebel-renee.com - Media-Lounge galerie...

I have been following a tutorial for an image gallery, i can upload images and use gd to create thumbnails that when clicked display the full sized image, but the full sized image is to big to fit in my design, i have managed to get the rel="lightbox" attached to the thumbnails as they are displayed but it wont load the full image, the loading ring just keeps going round, does anybody know how to fix this? is it even possible. BTW i am a complete beginner so please be gentle.

Hi for some reason my lightbox, downloaded from (huddletogether/projects - Lightbox 2) isn't working. I have a javascript slider that IS working on the page aswell

You can view a test page here

(only the first thumbnail is clickable)

I have attached some code below, please let me know if you need to see any more,

Does anyone know why Lightbox images would be displaying in reverse order? The numbers are correct but it pops up on the last one and I have to hit previous to get to the front.

Any idea how can I use the slimbox to create a really small lightbox (such as 5x5 pixels), instead of the usual large lightbox?

Your help is appreciated.

I really like the lightbox2 effect (http://www.huddletogether.com/projec...tbox2/#example) but I need help doing what I'm trying to do, for some reason I cannot get it to work, maybe you have a better recommendation?

I have one large image, its a tear out of a magazine, I want the initial image to be the entire page, but I want the user to be able to click on the text area of the page and have that enlarge so the viewer can read it clearly. Any ideas?

Thank you,

Dustin

i made a gallery using lightbox but i have a problem that the menu (created by allwebmenu program) is always on top of the lightbox so the pictures i cutted..

how to solve this problem?

Hey folks,

I'm working on a complete recode of my website and I would love to use a lightbox for my image gallery. I've been trying to research different lightboxes and have so far found it quite the runaround. Could anyone recommend one?

I'm just looking for one with simple implementation that allows for a single image to be displayed with closing and forward/backward functions for clicking through the different images in the gallery.

If anyone wants/needs more info, please let me know.

Thanks in advance.

Hey guys, I'm new to the forum and thought I should sign up to learn a little more.

I am trying to work on a lightbox for my personal portfolio site which opens up numerous images in one lightbox that you can scroll through. However, I want thumbnails below the main image too. The following link shows exactly what I mean, just click on one of the images...
