GreyBox
GreyBox from Orangoo Labs is the best general purpose Lightbox implementation I have found to date. GreyBox allows you to display websites, images and other content in a modal window. It’s not a program like Visual LightBox JS where you drag and drop photos into the Visual LightBox window, press “Publish” and a Web gallery is generated. However, Greybox is easy to set up, it’s small (only 22KB), and it’s styled in CSS so it’s easy to customize. GreyBox is free, and you can get more information and download GreyBox here.
Visual LightBox JS
I love it when I discover a useful program on the Web that’s priced reasonably, or even free, and I think I’ve found just such a program. I was browsing lightbox/modal window scripts and ran across a program called Visual LightBox JS. It’s a little program that makes it easy to generate Web photo galleries that are based on the LightBox2 script. You just drag and drop your photos into the Visual LightBox window, press “Publish” and your Web gallery with beautiful LightBox 2 effects is ready. You can use the HTML page generated by Visual LightBox, or you can add the generated code to your own page. Visual LightBox JS is free for non-commercial use and $25.00US for commercial use. You can read more about the program, view demos, and download the program here.
