Lightbox2

The original lightbox script. Eight years later — still going strong!

Lightbox is small javascript library used to overlay images on top of the current page. It's a snap to setup and works on all modern browsers.

Roadmap

Actively being worked on

• Maintenance. Geting open Issues and PRs number down. Not working on new features for v2.x.

Features NOT on the roadmap

The goal of this script from it's beginnings till today is to to provide a better image viewing experience.

• HTML or video content. If you need to show html or video content, I recommend googling for an alternative script as there are many options.
• Social sharing buttons.

v3.0 - In Brainstorming Phase

Interactions

• Add touch gesture support.
• Exploring using tilt gesture on mobile devices with extra-wide images.
• If user attempts to go forward when at end of image set, animation (shake?) indicating the end or option to close Lightbox.
• Make sure right-click/long pressing works to access the image's context menu.

Layout

• Allow vertical centering.
• Update sizing on window resize.
• Should the dev be able to choose the position of the caption, close button, and nav controls?
• Optimize layout for mobile.
• Optimize layout for screens of varying densities.
• Should the close button still live in the bottom right corner?

Animations

• Evaluate start, end, and transition animations.
• Rewrite animations for performance and flexibility.

Assets

• Use inline SVG for UI elements.

Caching

• Review if and how images should be preloaded

Accessibility

• Should opening lightbox update the url? and should this url be parsed on page load to show Lightbox automatically?
• Review alt attributes.
• Review ARIA roles.
• Review constrast ratios.
• Review keyboard input and tabbing.
• Review click/touch target size.
• Test with screen reader.

API

• Do not initialize automatically and allow multiple instances.
• Add event handlers.
• Allow setting options on the fly.
• Allow the setting of options from HTML?
• Allow instantiation with jQuery plugin syntax.
• Evaluate preloading and caching.
• Evaluate droppping jQuery requirement.
• Allow placement inside of a specified element? Orig feature requester was dealing with iframe.
