Bob you must have read my mind.. I was thinking of implementing something similar on a site I'm setting up. Thanks for saving me days of work Wink

Wonderful addition!

BUT... it seems to break down when:
A - the specific picture is part of the 'read on...' text, AND
B - the page is fully loaded.

In this case I can't get it to work. The pic then is just plain shown in the browser in stead as a lightbox/popup. Not good! Smile

If the page is not fully loaded, and I open the read more-part, and click the picture, it does work.

BTW: it works fine with pictures outside the 'readmore'-part.

I'm somewhat puzzled by this. Are the paths in readmore overruled when the page is fully loaded?

(You may have a look at the "Logo's en drukwerk ABC"-post on my page: http://www.terzijde.com)

(BTW2: a friend of mine in Canada did not see the effect at all in IE6, but personally I do not have any problems at all... so I guess it has something to with her PC, although she could see the lightbox effect in the testpage of the previous post of Alliballi)

it doesn't work in your 'read more' sections because the necesary javascript is added to the page after it is loaded..

When you then load a new part of the page (for the read more), the script does not get appended to the link, and it will not work..

I don't think it's possible to make it work with 'read more'.. It will work if you link to the more traditional entrypages..

Yeah, I figured that out already... don't know what's more 'esthetic' IMHO.

Sad

It's back to the reconsideration-board for me then.
Pitty, cuz I really like the lightbox.

Well, the funny thing is that it *does* seem to work when the page is still loading. When I quickly open the readon section and then open a lightbox-popup (while the page is still loading), it works... but it won't work anymore when the page has finished loading. Then it goes back to loading the picture as any ordinary www-picture.
