Wow. Making you include a 249K of JavaScript just to have images pop up nicely seems a bit excessive.
Lightbox used to be nice when it made one particular thing easy to do. Then it expanded to do five million things and became so complex that if you want to do any particular one of those things it's much easier to just code it by hand.
So yeah, make a better one, Caer.
Make me an icon for it :C
(I'm calling it QuickSlide)
Surely that's only because it's built on top of Prototype and the copy that is included has not been minified?
That accounts for 160KB of it, yeah, but it still means you need to include Prototype, which isn't exactly that popular compared to jQuery.
I've never used Prototype, always used JQuery, I was just pointing it out. Unminified JQuery is about the same size.
Having this thread open, in another tab, keeps making me think Beehive has a Twitter-like feature of "(2)" new posts. :C
