If you go down to the pictures you will see when you click on them they open in a nice little window on page. How would i go about doing this for one of my pages?

Thanks for any help,

Dave

Thanks very much LadynRed for the helpful reply that is exactly what i needed.

Just one question in the installation it says this,

Append following to your header section. GB_ROOT_DIR

Were is this section located? I'm designing just a normal HTML site.

And it also says this below it:

Append also following scripts and one stylesheet

Were are these both located?

Thanks,

Dave

Hi Dave,

I implemented this version to a site the other day so I'll talk you through it if you need any help but its pretty straight forward.

Just insert the first line of code in the <head> section of your html at the top of the page

then use one of the link examples shown and adjust suit.

then download the zip file and extract the contents and upload to your server.

Any problems, just ask!

Thanks, i'll have to give it a try when i finish the site design if you have to add things to the server.

Cheers for the help

It means you have to put that in your <head></head> section - like this.

Quote:

<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
var GB_ROOT_DIR = "http://xxxxx.com/directory/greybox/";

</script>

</head>

Then you also need this to follow that first line in the <head> section with this:

Having some trouble guys... i think i have installed it correctly, however when i click on it then the image just loads on a new page.

Any idea why this is?

Thanks,

Dave

Can you show the code or a link to the page please.
You had a few targer=blanks in your other pages you posted so it might be to do with that...

**dave9713** · 02-17-2008, 05:23 PM

Darren i hope you don't mind, i have private messaged the link to you. Thanks for helping a lot with this situation!

I've PM'd you a zipped folder that contains all your files coded correctly.
You were nearly there...

You just did'nt adjust the url to the .JS files correctly.

Much appreciated... it turned out to be a simple mistake i was making in the end

Thanks!
