JS Popup HTML (ala LightBox)

Russinating · 18 Jan 2009 at 13:17

I'm looking for a JavaScript HTML window popup, similar to LightBox (in that it opens images within the JS within the page, rather than popping up a separate window).

Sexy Lightbox seems to do this, but the only sites I've found it on are in Spanish and after having some trouble with LightBox's code I don't feel confident using a 3rd party JS script that's not well supported.

Any got any ideas?

Use JQuery?

plenty of follow on scripts mate, have a look at Greybox

Thickbox is also ok. You could even try Slimbox - a cut down version of lightbox that loads faster and is apparently better supported across more browsers.

Although I've been experimenting with JQuery lately, so I'd say use that. Is amazing how easy it is to get some of the effects (E.g. literally 3 lines of code in some cases).

Thanks for this

Is going to come in really useful for a project I'm doing. Before you linked to that I was looking at modifying Lightbox, so I reckon that could save me a lot of time.

First time I've heard of Highslide.

Impressive stuff, thanks for posting the link.

Not a fan of highslide. Their website bothers me as well - "Offering a Web 2.0 approach to popup windows". How can you offer a social approach to popup windows?

web 2.0 is slang for ajax etc, and anything that looks good

Yeah thanks for the Highslide link. Shame it's not free for commercial use!
