Lighbox JS

So here is lightbox. The predecessor to greybox and thickbox. Lightbox is done using Javascript, and thickbox uses Javascript and JQuery as well. Sam, I think you would be able to implement the Lightbox stuff, just follow the lightbox JS link. There is also another version of the lightbox built using JQuery, called thickbox. Although, I think that would be a bit more difficult for you to get going. But the lightbox stuff is easy, the page has all the code and steps you need to get it working.
