20,491 PointsjQuery basics - lightbox help
I am using the lightbox in my own project.
It work to a point but i have 2 issues.
Firstly i have a much longer list of images so if i click an image towards the bottom that i have had to scroll down to the image is positioned up the page so i have to scroll back up to view the clicked image! Also the overlay ends if you scroll down, it is only 100% of the monitor not of the page.
Can anyone help please?
Thanks,
Rob

20,491 Pointsthis is what i thought and works perfect, thanks.
I do have another issue u could maybe help with. My site has a few different gallery pages. For some reason when i click these the overlay appears straight away when it should only appear when i click a specific image!
Cheers again

28,690 PointsYou're likely going to have to check your JavaScript file to be sure the click handler is set to the proper id or class. I'd probably double check the HTML file(s) as well to be sure the elements have the appropriate attributes applied (i.e. id and/or class).

20,491 Pointsi worked out the issue but not too sure how to solve.
Basically i have a gallery of images but there is a navigation to view different types of images, from landscapes, portraits or abstract etc...
So if im on my landscape gallery and i click the nav to view the abstract gallery when the page opens it has the overlay over it as the jQuery is telling the overlay to show when a link is clicked, and obviously the nav button is a link.
I am thinking maybe adding a class to better define which links to show the overlay on???
Thanks for all ur response, been a big help,
Rob
