Lightbox2

The original lightbox script. Eight years later — still going strong!

Lightbox is small javascript library used to overlay images on top of the current page. It's a snap to setup and works on all modern browsers.

Roadmap

Actively being worked on

  • Maintenance. Get open Issues and PRs number down.

Not on the roadmap

  • HTML or video content. The goal of the script from the start has been to provide a better image viewing experience and I am planning on staying focused on that vision. Don't worry though there are plenty of alternative scripts a google away for those who need HTML or video content support.

v3.0 - In Brainstorming Phase

  • Add touch gesture support.
  • Rewrite animations for performance and flexibility.
  • Optimize layout for mobile.
  • Optimize layout for screens of varying densities.
  • Use inline SVG for UI elements.
  • Do not initialize automatically and allow multiple instances.
  • Add event handlers.
  • Allow the setting of options from HTML.
  • Allow instantiation with jQuery plugin syntax.
  • If one of the two options, maxWidth or maxHeight, is set, maintain aspect ratio.
  • Evaluate start, end, and transition animations.
  • Evaluate preloading and caching.
  • Evaluate droppping jQuery requirement.
  • If user attempts to go forward when at end of image set, animation (shake?) indicating the end or option to close Lightbox.
