I finally got some pictures up on the site! Follow the link on the left to see pictures that were taken of me and my race partner at the Richmond Muddy Buddy race. The pictures use a set of javascripts called Lightbox JS, which were written by Lokesh Dhakar. The scripts are licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution 2.5 license, and can, therefore, be used in everything from personal projects to commercial projects.
I really love the simplicity and elegance of Lightbox JS 2, but am looking to extend the functionality. There are several different “updates” to the scripts that I am currently looking into that add new features to the tool. Here are a couple of the alternatives that I found interesting:
- Lightbox Plus – adds the resize image functionality to Lightbox JS 2, which automatically resizes the image to a smaller size if it doesn’t fit on the viewer’s screen.
- Thickbox – a lighter alternative to Lightbox JS 2, Thickbox also adds the ability to display more content types in the display box.
