Your Website - - Photo viewer for my website

JOELOHR · #1 07-25-2008, 03:15 PM

I am trying to find a website or a tutorial on how to post photos on my website so when you click a pic it gets enlarged and the screen around it goes to a transparent black. Does anyone know what it is and where i can get that?

Thanks for any info you might have!

It is all written in JavaScript. Not by me, but by Lokesh Dhakar.

He calls it Lightbox and you can find it here

I know I am a little late on joining in on this topic. I just found it...

I am a professional photographer, and I noticed that this Photoviewer allows for right clicking and saving the image. I would heavily watermark your images in your galleries when using this viewer to prevent theft of your images from clients or anyone else. I use Simpleviewer and its easy to install and now they have a plug in for photoshop that makes it easier to build your galleries with.

Good luck!

I went to the Simpleviewer website and I was able to open and save the images from their sample page too. Did I read your post wrongly or is that not supposed to happen?
