Lightbox, and the newer Lightbox 2, is a JavaScript application used to display large images using modal dialogs.

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.
