Thanks! Is it possible though to add new lines, and format pieces of the text (i.e. some bold, some underlined, etc...)? Thanks again!

Here is the link to the 'tutorial' which includes the download link: Lightbox2 by Lokesh Dhakar Thanks!

Is there a way to format a caption in lightbox? By formatting I mean for example adding new lines and bolding, underlining text. Do we have to pass the text from a file somehow or can we just embed it all (with tags such as <b>, <u>, <br /> within the title tag? How to do it so that it still validates? Thank you!

Lightbox v2.04 OS: WinXP Pro SP3 FF: 3.5.7 IE7 Hi, I am trying to use lightbox, where the thumbnails are not smaller images but only blocks of background color. When I don't use lightbox, I am able to control the color based on the state of the thumb (link/active/visited)...(thanks to the help of Wickham) However with lighbox, the 'visited' attribute somehow gets ignored and the color remains as in '.projectthumbs li a'...(hover/active does work...just visited does not). Is there any way to modfiy the script (css or js) to allow for the visited thumbs to change color? HTML snippet ------------------------ <li class="projectthumbs"> <ul> <li><a href='images/Cave Rock Blue.bmp' rel="lightbox" title="some caption"></a></li> <li><a href='images/Cave Rock Tan.bmp' rel="lightbox" title="some caption"></a></li> <li><a href='images/Cement.bmp' rel="lightbox" title="some caption"></a></li> <li><a href='images/Cemented Rock.bmp' rel="lightbox" title="some caption"></a></li> </ul> </li> CSS snippet ------------------------ .projectthumbs li a{ padding: 0; color: #FFFFFF; background-color: #999999; width: 8px; height: 12px; padding: 0 2px; display: block; } .projectthumbs li a:link { background-color: #999999; } .projectthumbs li a:visited { background-color: #433e39; /*was #b82129;*/ } .projectthumbs li a:hover, .projectthumbs li a:active { background-color: #b82129; } Thanks!

You are AMAZING! Thank you sooo much! Works like a charm!

Thanks Wickham! I had the blank href temporarily and didn't realize it would affect the test, but you are right. I added some test images and modified the style sheet: http://www.shepdev.pcriot.com/list2.html .projectthumbs li a:link { background-color: #999999; } .projectthumbs li a:visited { background-color: #b82129; } .projectthumbs li a:hover, .projectthumbs li a:active { background-color: #b82129; } For whatever reason though, the visited background becomes the same as the page background, even though for the sake of test I set it to a very visible color (same as the hover/active). So that after you click and visit images, eventually your gray squares disappear

hmmm...actually maybe you can help me with another problem... I have currently commented out this section: /*.projectthumbs li a:visited {*/ /* background-color: #433e39;*/ /*}*/ ...because it would change all of the backgrounds (even not visited to the above color). This should be very trivial but it is not working for me... I wanted to have the squares/background color od the projectthumbs list as follows: link: #999999; hover/active: #B82129; visited: #433e39; Any idea what could be wrong? Thanks again!

Ah! Thanks for pointing it out, now (after playing with it) I see what you did, very clever with continuing the LI but clearing all the floats! Thanks

Thanks so much Wickham! I had tried float: left before but failed to clear...so it never worked for me. I have also posted on a different forum, where another user found a different solution to my problem: http://www.codingforums.com/showthread.php?p=923237#post923237 Thanks again!

Hi, I wanted to have a nested CSS-styled list where the subelements would show horizontal (on the same level) as parents. While FF does it as it should, the IE...figures...does not. As snippets: HTML LIST: <div class="projects"> <div class="headings">First heading</div> <ul> <li>List item 1</li> <li class="projectthumbs"> <ul> <li><a href='' imgsrc='/images/projects/pic_1a.jpg'></a></li> <li><a href='' imgsrc='/images/projects/pic_1b.jpg'></a></li> <li><a href='' imgsrc='/images/projects/pic_1c.jpg'></a></li> <li><a href='' imgsrc='/images/projects/pic_1d.jpg'></a></li> </ul> </li> </ul> (...) </div> CSS STYLING: .headings { font-size: 12px; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-weight: normal; text-transform: uppercase; text-align: left; font-weight:bold; color: #B82129; padding-bottom: 5px; padding-top: 5px; } .projects { font-size: 11px; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; list-style-type: none; } .projects ul { margin: 0; list-style-type: none; } .projects li { margin: 0; padding-top: 1px; padding-bottom: 1px; display: inline-table; } .projectthumbs { font-size: 14px; } .projectthumbs ul { height: 10px; padding: 0 0 1px 15px } .projectthumbs li { float: left; list-style-type: none; height: 12px; width: 12px; margin: 0 3px 0 0; display: inline-table; } .projectthumbs li a{ padding: 0; color: #FFFFFF; background-color: #999999; width: 8px; height: 12px; padding: 0 2px; display: block; } .projectthumbs li a:active { background-color: #B82129; } .projectthumbs li a:hover { background-color: #B82129; } /*.projectthumbs li a:visited {*/ /* background-color: #433e39;*/ /*}*/ Sorry for messy CSS, I have some redunancies which I have to still work on...
