Sometime, we need a way to show one or a set of images in a more elegant way. Lightbox is a simple, unobtrusive script used to overlay images on the web pages. It is extremely easy to setup and works on all modern browsers. The best thing of it is that if you have a set of images, the script will preload all images before you clicked to the next image. So that you do not have to wait for loading everytime you click to the next image.

* Lightbox uses the Prototype Framework and Scriptaculous Effects Library.

Requirements: Any Modern Browsers
