Lightweight Litebox?

[Conrad11]

Was wondering if anyone has (or knows of) a really lightweight litebox script?

Only need the script to open one image with all the transition, tween and fade effects with a caption. (DON'T need the multiple image gallery feature)

Ideally looking for something under 10KB (including everything...javascript, images & css)...if not then I have to do my own implementation :/

Thanks.

Compressed its 30k ThickBox. I think you'll find it hard to find anything under 10kb with images, css and javascript.

Yeah thats what I thought...

I'm currently working on my own implementation...I'm 99% sure I can get what I need in under 10KB.

Managed to do what I wanted.....and in only 6.16KB (including images & JavaScript - there is no CSS).

See it in action (and download it) here: Introduction to µLitebox.

It's no exactly the same, but it's close too. What do you think?

Very nice. Can't really notice much (if any) difference at all from Lightbox apart from the file size.

Questions is though, why put so much effort into making it so small, sure mobile users will thank you but most home users have speedy BB connections so a few k more makes no real difference

I'm on a 2Mb connection and I notice the different between downloading a 6KB file and a file/multiple files 10x the size of that. Admittedly, you may not notice the page loading any faster on a 20Mb connection. If you have a slow website it helps.

Also saves on bandwidth....although the 50KB saved per connection is not a lot, if you have a lot of visitors, then its worth it.

50 * 1million website hits....converted to GB that's 4.7GB of bandwidth saved.
