Lightbox - overlay images instead of annoying popups

Lightbox JS is a simple, unobtrusive script used to to overlay images on the current page.

  • It's a snap to setup and works on all modern browsers.
  • It really looks pretty cool
  • with all those popup blockers this is a new apporach to better user experience on photo loaded sites
  • when the overlay is active, the rest of the site is blended away at 80% opacity… pretty nice :)
