The following is an official description. Many websites use this effect to display images, which is very good and easy to use.

It doesn't work at all. The image opens up in a new page. What's wrong?
This is commonly caused by a conflict between scripts. Check your body tag and look for an onload attribute. Example:
<Body onload = "MM_preloadImages ('/images/menu_on.gif ')...; ">
A quick fix to this problem is to append the initLightbox () to the onload attribute as so:
<Body onload = "MM_preloadImages ('/images/menu_on.gif ')...; InitLightbox () ">
It doesn' t work if I click an image link before the page has finished loading.
The script is activated only after the page has finished loading.
The shadow overlay doesn' t stretch to cover full browser window.
Remove the default margin and padding from the body tag. Add body {margin: 0; padding: 0;} to your stylesheet.
Can I insert links in the caption?
Yes, but you need to convert quotes and greater and less than symbols into their html entity equivalents. For example:
<A href = "images/image-4.jpg" rel = "lightbox" title = "<a href =" link.html "> my link </a>"> Image </a>
Can I display flash, video, or other content using the script?
Sorry, photos only. For other content, google for Lightbox modifications or try an alternative script such as Cody Lindley's ThickBox.
Can the script be called from an iframe?
If you're using iframes, try the Lytebox modification which has better support.
Can I use the script in a specified cial project?
Yes. It is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution 2.5 License. A donation wocould be nice, hint.
