Enhanced Image Viewing


The other day Zac helped me update my blog. This is how he explained what he did: Try clicking on one of the images. You'll see that the page no longer navigates away from the blog to the image. Instead, an HTML object is made visible and brought to the front of the viewing area and the larger image is loaded and displayed. This concept is referred to by some as a "lightbox."Once the lightbox has been displayed, you can navigate between all the pictures on the site by clicking on the right or left side of the picture to move forward or backward respectively. You can close the lightbox either by clicking the close label at the bottom border or by scrolling down the page and clicking somewhere else. Here's an example of what it looks like: Just click on the picture of Zac and Jen.
