Lightbox, and the newer Lightbox 2, is a JavaScript application used to display large images using modal dialogs. 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 <img alt=”" /> element. Lightbox also provides a way to attach captions to images and to run a slide show, which can be navigated using the arrow keys.
