Need a Lightbox Script? See Floatbox – The Premier Javascript Windowing System

I’ve downloaded and played with just about every lightbox script available. My favorite lightbox script was greybox (at the time of this posting their site was down, http://orangoo.com/labs/GreyBox/). Greybox is nice, easy to use and it’s free! Then I found Floatbox and I don’t think I will ever use another lightbox script again.

Floatbox is a very versatile lightbox clone. You can open just about any file imaginable inside a floatbox including html content, iframes and flash files. Not only does the content open up in a new window, you can easily group images or content to create an image gallery. Floatbox is not free. It cost $20 for a single domain and if you need it for more than one site you do get a bit of a discount for each additional site.

You might ask yourself, “why buy a lightbox script, there are dozens of free scripts available?” The floatbox script is supported by the script writer and is imporoved upon every couple of months. Plus he is great about answering questions via email or forum. I had a few issues in getting some custom looks working and he responded to every email quickly. For the $20 it’s well worth the cash. Plus you’ll impress your clients with some nice lightbox effects.

Create a Scrolling DIV

Here’s a simple Javascript that creates a scrolling DIV, http://javascript.internet.com/miscellaneous/scroll-div-horizontal.html. With a little editing you can create a carousel effect like Amazon.com uses to display products.

You need to keep the copyright information in the Javascript code to use the script on your site. It is FREE!
