I am looking for some sort of lightbox (I guess that's the right word) to add photographs and other images, such as the poster gallery. I'd like to break them into separate pages, where viewers could see, in an attractive way, the images. Help! :)

Do a little search for "jquery lightbox" and see what you get. This is probably one of the most common UI plugins for jquery!

What do you think about this one?

I've seen that one used before, and one thing I hate about it is that it puts the 'close' link at the top right of the window, which always takes me a moment to see...

How about this guy? http://leandrovieira.com/projects/jquery/lightbox/

It is not the most elegant solution, true. That close is hard to see, but the typical click off gets rid of the light box. Also, there are no options for cycling through the collection. On the other hand, it is more clearly documented and I can get into the nuts and bolts easier. I like that control and the learning that goes along with it.
