We all know the javascript functionality that is Lightbox 2.0. It’s simple, easy and really overused by the community. So here are a couple of examples for you guys to use.

Fancy Zoom

Fancy Zoom

  • Focused on the smoothest, most polished zooming animation possible
  • Automatically scales images from any image link, with no HTML changes
  • Preloads full-size images in the background on link mouseover
  • No resource-heavy Javascript libraries — 100% coded from scratch to zoom
  • Draws a nice drop shadow under the full-size image to offset it from the page
  • Uses Safari 3’s “box-shadow” feature to draw the drop shadow natively, no images required
  • Requires only two new lines of code in your HTML
  • Tested and works with Safari, Firefox, IE7, and IE6. (Looks better in modern browsers.)

Highslide

Highslide

  • No plugins like Flash or Java required.
  • Popup blockers are no problem. The content expands within the active browser window.
  • Single click. After opening the image or HTML popup, the user can scroll further down or leave the page without closing it.
  • Compatibility and safe fallback. If the user has disabled JavaScript or is using an old browser, the browser redirects directly to the image itself or to a fallback HTML page.
