files are in the right location. Also, make sure the loading.gif
and closelabel.gif
files as referenced near the top of the lightbox.js
file are in the right location.rel="lightbox"
attribute to any link tag to activate the lightbox and give it an id. For example:
<a href="images/image-1.jpg" rel="lightbox" id="image001" title="my caption">image #1</a>
Optional: Use the title
attribute if you want to show a caption. <a href="images/image-1.jpg" rel="lightbox[roadtrip]" id="image001" >image #1</a>
<a href="images/image-2.jpg" rel="lightbox[roadtrip]" id="image002" >image #2</a>
<a href="images/image-3.jpg" rel="lightbox[roadtrip]" id="image003" >image #3</a>
No limits to the number of image sets per page or how many images are allowed in each set. Go nuts!yourpage.html#idofthelink
