Ciao! I 'd like to try using lightbox to show my projects. Dispite my ignorance on the matter I've been playing around with the code for a couple of days trying to manage by myself.I achieved nothing yet.I really need some robust advices on how to proceed.I haven't seen anybody yet using lightbox on their site ( possible?)I 'd be so awesome if somebody could give a hand putting the pieces together.SERIOUS THANKS IN ADVANCE!

I'm confused. What is "Lightbox" - are you speaking of something specific?

Thickbox is a form of what is know as a 'lightbox'...

Do you really live in Palestine?

yes this is what I was thinking of.
Lightbox2
I followed the instructions on Dhakar's website, turned the process HTML off in my section,(those things I read in previous threads), but I'm obviously missing something.

Yes, you could make a format out of that one easily. If you use the Thickbox format as a reference it shouldn't be too hard. Did you search this forum - I have to wonder if somebody did this already.

We have a friend who was working in Palestine for years...the stories...

back again!I have tried for a while to write a plugin for lightbox2 looking at similar things ( I was trying to adapt the wordpress plugin,here ) but at this point I feel like im just doing random things, I can't manage a plugin with the limited knowledge I have. If anyone had been there before and feel like helping out...it would be fantastic;)

Actually light box and thick box are almost the same having thick box with additional features. The main difference visually is that the lightbox is given more emphasis. It is like flashed under the spot light, thus more emphasized. While the thick box has a more direct way of displaying the image, with it just being displayed inside a box panel. Thick box however functions on AJAX and iframe, which sadly the lightbox cannot perform on.
