[plugin] [ORPHAN] bas_lightbox (Thumbnail galery with unobtrusive javascript)

Finnish · 2006-03-19 04:49:23

the lightbox acts wierdly in Opera 9 build 8265.
anyone noticed same behavior?

maarten · 2006-03-24 13:08:34

As this is related to the CSS supplied with this plugin I’m posting it here. The plugin’s CSS messes up my validation. Anyone experienced the same problem and knows how to get rid of it?

Line: 108 Context : * html #overlay

attempt to find a semi-colon before the property name. add it

Line: 108 Context : * html #overlay

Property progid doesn’t exist : DXImageTransform

Line: 108 Context : * html #overlay

Parse Error – DXImageTransform.Microsoft.AlphaImageLoader(src=“http://www.xpressit.nl/images/lightbox_overlay.png”, sizingMethod=“scale”);

Line: 109 Context : * html #overlay

Parse error – Unrecognized : }

maarten, you are right. Lightbox CSS is not valid. Damm IE and its PNG support

But i dont know how to change that. Perhaps the IE & PNG should be handled by JS?

You could use conditional comments to serve the invalid CSS only to IE.

Bastian · 2006-03-24 16:40:42

If we think about valid and semantic markup and styling:
Comment-tag should contain comments.

So i would prefer the JS-method. If you come with IE and JS is disabled you get the large-image as link,
if JS enable, you see the large image in a Lightbox, managing PNG support with JS.

I’ve searched the web everywhere to find a CSS solution but couldn’t find one. Don’t know if JS would solve it, goes beyond my knowledge.

I’ve searched the web everywhere to find a CSS solution but couldn’t find one.

You didn’t find a valid solution to show PNG in IE, because there is none!
Microsoft didn’t implement the alpha-transperency.
You can use this <code>AlphaImageLoader</code> filter, but it’s proprietary and it’s function is limited.

Bastian,Maarten

Have you seen this plugin? It may be of service for what you are talking about. I have a copy somewhere in it’s original form if you would like to have a look.

Thanks Soulship,

But the PNG support works for IE. It is not valid CSS, thats the problem.
The workaround with Mircosoft’s own filters in CSS displays the alpha-transperency,
but this <code>filters</code> and <code>AlphaImageLoader</code> stuff is not part of CSS

My goals for Lightbox are:

Valid XHTML and CSS
Work out of the box
Easy to implement to txp and easy to use

So i will add to next version:

PNG support for IE within JS not longer by CSS
I wrote a function that imports images to txp: I don’t have to upload the images, the plugin does.

Soulship, thanks for thinking along.

Bastian, solving this in the next version would me great!

There is a new version of lightbox from its developer Lightbox 2. Still pretty light with back – forward navigation and some scrolling effects (do you likie them?).
