Have you ever been asked which Lightbox script is the best? I have, plenty of times. My answer is usually something like “It depends on what you’re planning to do with it”.
My personal favourite is Thickbox, because I generally use jQuery as my javascript framework and so-far, thickbox has always done whatever I needed to do. There are, however, loads of lightbox clones to choose from so here’s a selection.
- Lightbox2
- Lightbox+
- LightBox Gone Wild
- jQuery lightBox plugin
- Leightbox
- Greybox
- Highslide
- FancyBox
- Facebox
- Awesome Box
- ibox
- Multibox
- Shadowbox
- Prototype Window
The list covers a number of different variations on the functionality and javascript frameworks (or lack thereof), sorry there’s not more detail, hope to get back to form this week.
