Lightbox Javascript feature

I would like to tickle a technician's imagination with this application.

I don't know what is the name for this stuff, so I'm posting in here.

Check this out:

This is just an example link: Example link

Just click in the center of IMAGE, and you'll see that WINDOW WITH IMAGE is opening!

I don't know what this feature is calling, but it would be AWSOME to have it on my board. That means no more boring link posting and image resizing etc...

After technicians "expertise", I will create a poll for this app.
Please I expect your recall. Thx

Its a javascript ... one of the lightbox variations...
It is possible to use so long as you have a FTP host for the .js

I use similar technology here:

Spoiler:

If the techies can add a normal image resizing I'd be happy

That would be super cool! Thx for the info

If you could change your title to something more descriptive, then add a poll, members will be able to vote. i for one would vote yes, i have lightbox on my vb forum its great!

Can someone rip the js and tell how to use.

Couldn't you you the meta tags to link to the js file Jalokim?

You can grab from the link below, Lightbox 2. That's what I'm using, I host my javascript on a javascript host. The sad thing is, you can only use it on HTML pages.

Enable HTML in your posts then

Won't work, i tried it. The post editor won't all this code: <script type="text/javascript"

have you tried taking out the script type part and replacing with just <script > tag at start and </script > at end? that will work sometimes.

yup ... thats the reason why it can't be done...meta tags don't help
although I've never actually seen a forum that has posts with lightbox...
most just have an enlarge mod.

i sometimes use normal BB to make a nice effect:

Code:

[url=url of big pic][img]of little pic[/img][/url]

but that is not the same.

@ zinex... with lightbox you have to have this part :

Code:

<script type="text/javascript" src="prototype.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="scriptaculous.js?load=effects,builder"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="lightbox.js"></script>

in the html for the lightbox elements:

Code:

<a href="images/.png" rel="lightbox" title="alternative description">

to work... so without modifying the html we can't do it

thanks for de info brow..

My vote is no, sorry..
