Pretty Photos
Apr 03
My new jQuery plugin is on it’s way, it’s done, tested, I just need to make it ready for wide usage. That means, clean up the code, optimize the css, dynamize the images, basic stuff like that. Nothing like the hell I went through the past couple of days to make it work in IE…
Basically it’s a lightbox clone for jQuery (yes, another one!). The reason is simple, the clones already available either don’t reproduce lightbox close enough, or were not flexible enough for my needs. So I went ahead and created one of my own!
Release is expected to be around mid-week next week. I really do hope to get the same feedback as the ones I got for my Pretty Comments script.

I just made a tool for a quick and easy comparison between all the “lightbox” clones: http://planetozh.com/projects/lightbox-clones/
Could you ping me when you release your script so I give it a go? Hope it will as good as FancyBox

That’s a pretty useful page you got there, I didn’t know there was that much lightbox clones!
As for the script, I had some ideas tonight, thinking about releasing it in it’s current state then keep working on improvements (inline content, iframe, ajax). I’m just not sure if I want to launch it without all the features.
Decisions, decision!
