    gallery and light box

    What is the difference between using the gallery or using the light box to include images on a web site. The seem to be the same.

    Thanks,

    Re: gallery and light box

    Hi, they are certainly not the same. But if you load large KB images into the light box & the page hasn't fully loaded, the light box effect will not take place. The light box is a 1 or 2 image tool & i personally wouldn't use it as a gallery due to the high KB's it will create on the page..
    Regards Chris.

      what does the light box do other than display the image and enlarge it when you click on it?

          Re: gallery and light box

          I have a problem of using the Light Box. After publishing my webpage, then i click on an image of my web gallery. I no longer have an image in the middle of the page like a postcard style. But, I only have my image displaying in the left corner of a blank webpage. Why the LightBox doesnt work in my case?

            We would need the pages url.

              Hi Chris,
              this is my URL for my website http://giangminiature.free.fr/ and http://giangminiature.free.fr/Gallery.html.

              The Gallery doesnt work as the Light Box. When I click on an image, it is always on the left hand corner of a blank page. But, when I go to Preview, the Light Box works correctly.
              Thank you for your help

                      That was my case. When you to preview, the light box is ok but when you publish it. it doesnt work. You get a image on the left corner of a blank page. The problem is from a script:
                      1/ You go to View Source of your Light Box page, then you will see this script

                      <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
                      <html>
                      <head>
                      <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1">
                      <title>Untitled Page</title>
                      <meta name="GENERATOR" content="Created by BlueVoda">
                      <script type="text/javascript" src="prototype.js"></script>
                      <script type="text/javascript" src="scriptaculous.js?load=effects"></script>
                      <script type="text/javascript" src="lightbox.js"></script>
                      <link rel="stylesheet" href="lightbox.css" type="text/css" media="screen" />
                      </head>
                      <body bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000">
                      <div id="bv_" style="position:absolute;left:34px;top:34px;width: 150px;height:150px;z-index:0" align="left">
                      <table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="3">
                      </table>
                      </div>
                      </body>
                      </html>


                      2/ You should delete the script in red then you add the green one
                      <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
                      <html>
                      <head>

                      <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/lightbox.css" type="text/css" media="screen" />

                      <script src="js/prototype.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
                      <script src="js/scriptaculous.js?load=effects,builder" type="text/javascript"></script>
                      <script src="js/lightbox.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

                      <style type="text/css">
                      body{ color: #333; font: 13px 'Lucida Grande', Verdana, sans-serif; }
                      </style>
                      </head>
                      <body bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000">
                      <div id="bv_" style="position:absolute;left:34px;top:34px;width: 150px;height:150px;z-index:0" align="left">
                      <table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="3">
                      </table>
                      </div>
                      </body>
                      </html>

                      3/ You save it and ok, your light box will work fully.

                        Hi, i cant see your url registered & pointing at a vodahost server??????????
                        Do you have a Vodahost account? As it seems to be pointing at a French server.

                            Sorry! But BV will only fully function when using with a vodahost server with a Vodahost account. (There is a note about this on the download page)
