Lightbox

Lightbox Image Viewer 2.0 expands upon the original Lightbox Image Viewer with a few new features.

While the original version is great for viewing images individually on the page, Lightbox 2.0 supports a new "grouping" feature that lets you group related images on the page for easy browsing amongst them.

The transitional effect for bringing up an image also differs from the original. And like before, this script supports optional caption display, plus incremental preloading of the next image when images are grouped.

It can handle image captions, keyboard commands and different file types.

The older version 2.05 uses Prototype.

The newer 2.5 version uses jQuery.
