LightBox is a well-known application based on JavaScript. It was created by Lokesh Dhakar. This Application allows users to view larger versions of images without having to leave the current page. With it, one can also view simple slideshows. While LightBox is dependent upon a browser’s compatibility with Prototype to function, it is triggered through a standard link tag. Thus browsers that do not support JavaScript simply load the image as a separate file. The

is lost but what still retains is the display of the full-sized image. Some compatibility problems have been identified with versions of LightBox, in particular when displaying larger images on Firefox or Opera.

Lightbox is extremely simple to install and implement. In CakePHP, it is extremely easy to link CSS and JavaScript files into your site’s layout. These types of files have to be included within the and tags of the HTML that is sent to the browser. If you follow the CakePHP standards for file locations, you would drop your CSS files into /app/webroot/css/ and your JavaScript files into /app/webroot/js/.

On a LightBox-enabled page, a user can click an image to have it magnified in a LightBox window, which resizes itself according to the size of the image using a gliding animation. LightBox determines which images will be shown in the modal window through the XHTML “rel” attribute, which is used on an <a> element wrapped around the element. It also provides a way to attach captions to images and to run a slide show, which can be navigated using the arrow keys.
