how do they do that?

Hi there,

I came across a website using this great effect displaying photos. I
know it has to be Javascript, is there a ready-made script for it?

Thanks in advance.

View the page source. It uses a combination of: Prototype.js,
scriptaculous.js and lightbox.js. The effect may look cool the first
couple of times you see it, but it very quickly becomes a boring waste
of time while you wait for the image to display.

JavaScript? No doubt. It doesn't work in Netscape. That usually means
that JavaScript is involved.

Fortunately, (for the site owner) I am one of the few remaining Netscape
users.

Javascript works just fine in Netscape. After all, Netscape pioneered
Javascript!

I'd guess that what's happening is that the Javascript is using
something that's proprietary to MS and works only on IE.

Which was actually my point. There is a lot of JavaScript that does not
work cross-browser. Tricky gizmos, like the one the OP described as
"great" often don't work in all browsers. This leaves some visitors
looking at a site that does not work at all. That isn't a feature I want
on my site.

If a site falls apart in Netscape, chances are that JavaScript is involved.

In defense of the site in question, the site does not fall apart without
Javascript support. Furthermore, the effect I wanted to know more about
may not be available without Javascript support, but basic links to the
photos remain. Thus, I do not see it as a hinderance.

Hi Ed

The script in question being used is called "Lightbox 2.0", its used on a
number of websites and *degrades gracefully* when Javascript isn't enabled
on a browser.

It's frightfully easy to get going, is free (donations accepted) and *
works on all modern browsers *

IF you are talking about the slide show feature, it's working fine for
me in Firefox version 2.0.0.6

Thank you very much - I am eager to try it out. I am usually not one
for such eye-candy but indeed, I viewed the page without Javascript and
all content remained accessible.
