mediaboxAdvanced

Based on Lightbox, Slimbox, and the Mootools javascript library, mediaboxAdvanced is a modal overlay that can handle images, videos, animations, social video sites, twitter media links, inline elements, and external pages with ease.

How to use

mediaboxAdvanced supports a wide range of media formats; simply link to any image, flash video, or popular website, and the media will be automatically loaded into an overlay when clicked.

Installation

• The following files must be correctly linked in the page header:

  mediaboxAdv.css
