Lighbox JS

2006-04-26T10:18:00.000-04:00

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.

behaviour.js

I came across this when I was reading an
article on ajaxian.com. The thing I came away with from the article, however, was the class behaviour.js which allows you to use css selectors to keep your html markup from getting all messy with your javascript. Worth a second look.
