Thread: Lightbox Effect For Text

Hello All,

Is it possible for a text link, say a heading, that can pop up with text detail the way the Lightbox feature does for images. For example supposing I had a recipe for Duck Soup, which is a link, but when its pressed a pop up window would appear with the details?

Cheers,

Sally.

You should search the available scripts (and the various formats) at www.dynamicdrive.com and even www.hotscripts.com

Hi, i was messing around with one on this page that works quite well.

Hello Collector,

Yeah that's what I'm looking for alright but its way over my head. Supposing I have a link Duck Soup on my webpage and I want a pop up window for the recipie. I highlight it and I click the Link Feature and then I do....

Hi, if you are not quite confident to work with code just yet. Might be worth using this thread for a popup. LINK

Thanks for that but every time I copy the code into the URL Property box, save and publish, it simply resorts back to http://www.mydomain.com/page.html

I am not sure what makes this happen, but a few have had the same thing happening. For some reason when I put more than one on the page & then remove the 1st one it seems to solve it. (Don’t ask me why?) But worth a try. lol.

Cheers Collector, but I'll have to stick to more basic stuff. EWe'll get there eventually.
