Hi. Can anyone help with an issue I have with the JavaScript lightbox? I am trying to get the next and previous buttons to appear but for some reason cannot get this to work.

 

I have of course included the images in my directory and referenced them up accordingly in my lightbox.css so I really don't know what is wrong. I have copied my lightbox.css below and the website is here: http://www.angelapuddleduck.com

 

Thanks, Sam.

 

#lightbox{

position: absolute;

left: 0;

width: 100%;

z-index: 100;

text-align: center;

line-height: 0;

}

 

#lightbox a img{ border: none; }

 

#outerImageContainer{

position: relative;

background-color: #fff;

width: 250px;

height: 250px;

margin: 0 auto;

}

 

#imageContainer{

padding: 10px;

}

 

#loading{

position: absolute;

top: 40%;

left: 0%;

height: 25%;

width: 100%;

text-align: center;

line-height: 0;

}

#hoverNav{

position: absolute;

top: 0;

left: 0;

height: 100%;

width: 100%;

z-index: 10;

}

#imageContainer>#hoverNav{ left: 0;}

#hoverNav a{ outline: none;border:none;}

 

#prevLink, #nextLink{

width: 49%;

height: 100%;

background: transparent url(/images/blank.gif) no-repeat; /* Trick IE into showing hover */

display: block;

}

#prevLink { left: 0; float: left;}

#nextLink { right: 0; float: right;}

#prevLink:hover, #prevLink:visited:hover { background: url(images/prevlabel.gif) left 15% no-repeat; border:none;}

#nextLink:hover, #nextLink:visited:hover { background: url(images/nextlabel.gif) right 15% no-repeat; border:none; }

 

 

#imageDataContainer{

font: 10px Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif;

background-color: #fff;

margin: 0 auto;

line-height: 1.4em;

overflow: auto;

width: 100%

}

 

#imageData{ padding:0 10px; color: #666; }

#imageData #imageDetails{ width: 70%; float: left; text-align: left; }

#imageData #caption{ font-weight: bold; }

#imageData #numberDisplay{ display: block; clear: left; padding-bottom: 1.0em; }

#imageData #bottomNavClose{ width: 66px; float: right; padding-bottom: 0.7em; border:none;}

 

#overlay{

position: absolute;

top: 0;

left: 0;

z-index: 90;

width: 100%;

height: 500px;

background-color: #000;

}

to get next and previous buttons with lightbox you need to tell the images to be linked to eachother so they know they are part of a set. This is done by adding a little bit extra to your image link, where you have rel="lightbox" you need to change it to rel="lightbox[gallery]" the [gallery] can be changed to any name you want as long as it remains in the square brackets for example [images] or [painting].

 

 

Hope this helps.

Damn you Dizi and your fastness! I was just typing that exact same thing.

Hi Dizi.

 

That's great thank you. I knew it would be something simple....
