LYTEBOX V3.2 | MODIFIED VERSION OF LIGHTBOX

Lytebox was written from the Lightbox class that Lokesh Dhakar (http://www.huddletogether.com) originally wrote. The purpose was to write a self-contained object that eliminated the dependency of prototype.js, effects.js, and scriptaculous.js. Since the original version of Lytebox (which released with iFrame support), major modifications have been made to improve performance as well as "Slideshow" support, "Themes" support, HTML content support (as opposed to just images) and many more configurable options that allow you to customize the look and feel of Lytebox.

For examples of the new and improved Lytebox in action, select an image from one of the following display types:

Single Image

Grouped Images

Slideshow [ Lyteshow feature ]

LyteFrame [ Show HTML Pages ]

Google Search | TechFlaps | Face Book

How To Use

Step 1: Download Lytebox v3.22
Step 2: Add the following lines to the <head> of your document:

Step 3: Add the appropriate rel attribute for the type of display you want. See the examples below.

Single Image Example:

<a href="images/image-1.jpg" rel="lytebox" title="Image Description">Image #1</a>

Grouped Images Example:

<a href="images/image-1.jpg" rel="lytebox[vacation]" title="Mom and Dad">Mom and Dad</a>
<a href="images/image-2.jpg" rel="lytebox[vacation]" title="My Sister">My Sister</a>

Slideshow Example [note the use of lyteshow instead of lytebox]:

<a href="images/image-1.jpg" rel="lyteshow[vacation]" title="Mom and Dad">Mom and Dad</a>
<a href="images/image-2.jpg" rel="lyteshow[vacation]" title="My Sister">My Sister</a>

HTML Content Example [ note the use of lyteframe instead of lytebox ]:

<a href="http://www.google.com" rel="lyteframe" title="Search Google"
rev="width: 400px; height: 300px; scrolling: no;">Google Search</a>
<a href="catalog1.htm" rel="lyteframe[catalog]" title="Summer Catalog">Summer Catalog</a>
<a href="catalog1.htm" rel="lyteframe[catalog]" title="Winter Catalog">Winter Catalog</a>

Note: When using the "Lyteframe" feature, the REV attribute is used to control the width, height, and scrolling of the window. If the REV attribute is omitted, then by default width/height is set to 400px and scrolling is set to auto.

iFrames: If you plan to use Lytebox in an iFrame environment, then you need to include lytebox.css in the parent document, while including lytebox.js in the iFrame document.

Source Code: The JavaScript file (lytebox.js) that is included in the download has been stripped down (comments removed) for optimization purposes. The commented source code is available HERE.
