I was playing around with Lightbox js v2.02 (http://www.huddletogether.com/projects/lightbox2/) and i have it working but its not exactly doing what i want it to do - i was wondering if someone could help me out with it?

What i was wanting it do was (refer to: LightBox Explanation.jpg):

1. Using javascript, when you click on a number (1-6) it displays a photo attributed to that number in the 'rightContent' area, which works great, but

2. Is it possible to then click on that image that's displayed in the 'rightContent' to allow the Lightbox to intiate, as it requires a link/or clickable?

In effect, when any number (1-6) is selected it displays an image in the 'rightContent' area, which is then effectively a thumbnail to allow the LightBox to initiate allowing for a much larger image and a description to be displayed.

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks

Kenny

Does anyone know how to do this or any other way of doing it?

I'd like to have this feature in my website and its something i'd like to get sorted before i can move onto other things. Without a solution i'll have to continue without it but i really don't want to do this.

Any info would be really helpful.

Thanks

I havent used the script, though i have seen it around and now want to use it, thanks for the link.

You wont be able to do what you're saying with the script you're currently using, what you will have to do is a show/hide javascript, I would have to try it out myself (at work so cant), best thing is to look on google for "show hide div javascript" or something, then you will just have to have 6 different divs all hidden, the hyperlink on the numbers 1-6 would show the div associated with that number and (a little more complicated) hide all others.

You could also instead of show/hide use z-index to swap the clicked DIV to the 'front'.

Hope that all made sense without any explination, (again at work so =/ )
