    Lightbox Effect For Text

    Hello All,

    Is it possible for a text link, say a heading, that can pop up with text detail the way the Lightbox feature does for images. For example supposing I had a recipe for Duck Soup, which is a link, but when its pressed a pop up window would appear with the details?

    Cheers,

    Sally.

        Hello Collector,

        Yeah that's what I'm looking for alright but its way over my head. Supposing I have a link Duck Soup on my webpage and I want a pop up window for the recipie. I highlight it and I click the Link Feature and then I do....

          Hi, if you are not quite confident to work with code just yet. Might be worth using this thread for a popup. LINK

            Thanks for that but every time I copy the code into the URL Property box, save and publish, it simply resorts back to http://www.mydomain.com/page.html

              I am not sure what makes this happen, but a few have had the same thing happening. For some reason when I put more than one on the page & then remove the 1st one it seems to solve it. (Don’t ask me why?) But worth a try. lol.

                Cheers Collector, but I'll have to stick to more basic stuff. EWe'll get there eventually.

                    Hi,

                    How would I use text with that facility and is their a control over the rollover time?

                    Cheers,

                    Sally
