jQuery responsive lightbox plugin.
Shrinks the image to the width & height of the browser. Only handles images so it's nice and lightweight.
jQuery >= 1.4
IE7+
<html>
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="lightbox.css" />
</head>
<body>
<!-- Link to the image -->
<div class="gallery">
<a href="photo1.jpg">Image 1</a>
<a href="photo2.jpg">Image 2</a>
</div>
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="lightbox.min.js"></script>
<script>
$(function()
{
$('.gallery a').lightbox();
// If you want seperate galleries on the same page
// just specify different class names.
$('.gallery-2 a').lightbox();
});
</script>
</body> $('.gallery').lightbox({ margin: 20, nav: false, blur: true, minSize: 480 });- margin - int - default 50. Minimum margin around the image
- nav - bool - default true. enable navigation
- blur - bool - default true. Blur other content when open using css filter
- minSize - int - default 0. Min window width or height to open lightbox. Below threshold will open image in a new tab.
Add your captions as a data attribute to the anchor. e.g.
<a href="myimage.jpg" data-caption="This is a picture of a cat" >If bower is your thing you can install using the following command
bower install responsive-lightboxFirst, clone a copy of using the GUI or the main git repo by running:
git clone git://github.com/duncanmcdougall/Responsive-Lightbox.gitI'm using GruntJS to do all the minification and linting as build tasks.
Install the grunt-cli package so that you will have the correct version of grunt available from any project that needs it. This should be done as a global install:
npm install -g grunt-cliEnter the jquery directory and install the Node dependencies, this time without specifying a global install:
cd Responsive-Lightbox && npm installMake sure you have grunt installed by testing:
grunt -versionThen, to get a complete, minified (w/ Uglify.js), linted (w/ JSHint) version of the plugin, type the following:
gruntThe built version of the plugin will be saved to .min versions.
- Options: { loop }
- Faster image switching
- Light and dark simple themes
I'd like to thank Matthew Hartman, imiric et all for contributing a number of improvements to the lightbox.
