Create a Lightbox effect only with CSS – no javascript needed

August 22, 2007 • Css by Emanuele Feronato • 525 Comments

You may call it Lightbox, or Greybox, or Thickbox, but it’s always the same effect.

When you are on a page, and click on a photo or trig some event, a Lightbox is an effect that fades the pagein the background to show you new content in the foreground.

I mean this effect

Lightbox

In the upper example, when clicking on a photo the site fades to black and shows the photo, in the lower one when clicking on “login” the site fades to white and shows the login form.

There are tons of Lightbox scripts in the web, each one with its unique features and limitations, but all require massive use of Javascript or the installation of javascript frameworks.

In some cases, there are “lightweight” versions with “only” 40KB of Javascript.

This example does not want to compete with those scripts, but if you are looking for a simple, 100% CSS, 0% javascript lightbox, this may help you.

Features of this Lightbox:

100% CSS as said
You can insert any content in it (some scripts out there only allow images) and easily upload your codes to your web hosting provider.

That’s all. Did you need something more? Think wisely…

Let’s start with the CSS

.black_overlay{
	display: none;
	position: absolute;
	top: 0%;
	left: 0%;
	width: 100%;
	height: 100%;
	background-color: black;
	z-index:1001;
	-moz-opacity: 0.8;
	opacity:.80;
	filter: alpha(opacity=80);
}
 
.white_content {
	display: none;
	position: absolute;
	top: 25%;
	left: 25%;
	width: 50%;
	height: 50%;
	padding: 16px;
	border: 16px solid orange;
	background-color: white;
	z-index:1002;
	overflow: auto;
}

The black_overlay class is the layer that will make the web page seem to fade. It’s a black 80% opaque background as long and wide as the browser that will overlay the web page (look at the z-index) and at the moment is not shown (look at the display).

The white content class is the layer with the photo/login screen/whatever you want to appear in the Lightbox overlay. It’s a white layer to be placed over the black_overlay layer (look at the z-index, greater than the black_overlay one). The overflow allows you to have a scrollable content.

In the html file, put this line just before the tag

1	<div id="light" class="white_content">Hi, I am an happy lightbox</div><div id="fade" class="black_overlay"></div>

Now, trig the action you want to open the Lightbox and insert this code:

1	document.getElementById('light').style.display='block';document.getElementById('fade').style.display='block';

For example, in a link would be:

1	<a href = "javascript:void(0)" onclick = "document.getElementById('light').style.display='block';document.getElementById('fade').style.display='block'">Click me</a>

Remember to include in the lightbox the code to close it, for example

1	<a href = "javascript:void(0)" onclick = "document.getElementById('light').style.display='none';document.getElementById('fade').style.display='none'">Hide me</a>

A complete example page could be

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html>
	<head>
		<title>LIGHTBOX EXAMPLE</title>
		<style>
		.black_overlay{
			display: none;
			position: absolute;
			top: 0%;
			left: 0%;
			width: 100%;
			height: 100%;
			background-color: black;
			z-index:1001;
			-moz-opacity: 0.8;
			opacity:.80;
			filter: alpha(opacity=80);
		}
		.white_content {
			display: none;
			position: absolute;
			top: 25%;
			left: 25%;
			width: 50%;
			height: 50%;
			padding: 16px;
			border: 16px solid orange;
			background-color: white;
			z-index:1002;
			overflow: auto;
		}
	</style>
	</head>
	<body>
		<p>This is the main content. To display a lightbox click <a href = "javascript:void(0)" onclick = "document.getElementById('light').style.display='block';document.getElementById('fade').style.display='block'">here</a></p>
		<div id="light" class="white_content">This is the lightbox content. <a href = "javascript:void(0)" onclick = "document.getElementById('light').style.display='none';document.getElementById('fade').style.display='none'">Close</a></div>
		<div id="fade" class="black_overlay"></div>
	</body>
</html>

That you can find up and running in this page.

In this example everything is static and preloaded, but you can easily add some php/ajax code to make it more dynamic while keeping the effect 100% CSS based.

Hope you will find it useful, should you use it in one of your works send me a comment and I’ll feature your site as example.

Erm… no javascript? That title is very misleading. It’s a nice concept, and a good lightweight alternative to the libraries that are out there, but there is definitely javascript involved, and it’s non degradable.

Yes, the title is misleading… maybe somthing more like “Lightweight lightbox with CSS”, seeing as there are atleast two lines of javascript… and maybe 75% CSS, 25% Javascript would be a more appropriate range.

A fantastic bit of code though, almost as good as some scripts I have seen, however, it doesn’t have a smooth fade, which could be added by having two darkening divs each on say 40% opacity, one opens on the click and the other on the loading/displaying of the lightbox perhaps… not sure how to do that myself, but I’m sure it can’t be too javascript intensive.

Don’t you get it? By ‘no Javascript needed” he means “not that many Javascript needed”! Sheesh. By the way, the lightbox was great…

Ok well it does use JavaScript, but give him a break it’s still pretty good and maybe the title should have been “Create a Lightbox Effect with CSS and a tiny bit of JavaScript” but that probably wouldn’t have sounded as good.
Kyle Fuller

on August 23, 2007 at 11:38 pm

The title says “no javascript needed” yet there was javascript. This is misleading, maybe you should change the title. Still it is good, very little javascript instead of most of it javascript.
um

on August 23, 2007 at 11:42 pm

Most of the JavaScript effects also include many other options, such as automatic sizing, etc. ALL of them use CSS. How this got on Digg I have no idea.
velinn

on August 23, 2007 at 11:43 pm

He did make a mistake with the title, but I think what he meant was that there is no Javascript framework necessary. Think Prototype, script.aculo.lus, etc. Some of these weigh in at almost 300k.

Using two lines of standard javascript isn’t quite the same thing.
Russell Heimlich

on August 23, 2007 at 11:49 pm

The main lifting of the Javascript is to manipulate class names. You just did what all of the other lightbox scripts do but yours is less bang for more buck. Good try though.

I’ve been working on a custom lightbox script at work although it is more of a modal pop up since we don’t want the in-your-face fade down. Just a quick “display:block” that turns on and off a div holding the folder positioned absolute.

in mozilla, you could add a :hover class, and it would work without js. might be a little hard to use, though.

on August 24, 2007 at 12:11 am

I tried using this sample for a form based webpage.
If I use a server side button, and a click-event handler for it will close it irrespective of any other action.
This implementation of the lightbox is good for a static (display only) webpage.
Good job though.

Yeah it’s definitely not CSS only. It IS possible to make a dynamic lightbox in 100% CSS, but it will be lacking fundamental functionality. I made the following example:
http://css.mezane.org/lightbox/

Click the thumb for the lightbox effect. Click outside to close it (this does not work on Safari because it doesn’t seem to pick up on :focus or :active pseudo-classes.) This can be expanded upon to not reuse the image in the document (you’ll notice it disappears while the lightbox is open,) but I made the solution completely degradable (otherwise there could be a second image that’s hidden in the CSS and then shown when needed.) The extra span element is undesirable as well and makes the source code look ugly. I don’t recommend this anyways. A CSS-enabled browser with JavaScript disabled (very rare) will simply have to live without lightboxes.
Clint

on August 24, 2007 at 1:27 am

This won’t work if the page has to scroll, man. You need to display this stuff ‘fixed.’ And it’s not very practical with your 25% sizing; images would not be vertically centered.

Thing is, I think you know that, which is why your example is so simple. And if you want someone like me to donate, make a more robust example that works and I’ll consider it.

You’re just revisiting the days when people didn’t bother to make javascript unobtrusive like they should. This is a step backward, and it encourages other people to take a step backward (or more likely, to not take a step forward). This is the opposite of a contribution.

Kris

on August 24, 2007 at 2:18 am

Not good.
1.) It requires javascript to be enabled (this means non-degradeable), it means that the image will not be seen if JS is disabled.
2.) Why would you want to do this for every object you want to include in a lightbox.

When you could just include any of a number of well tested libraries and just do this.

Hi, Emanuele.

I improved your technique. I removed all inline JavaScript and wrote unobtrusive JavaScript code. It works very well in Firefox and IE7.

To make this technique more flexible, I included a function called getElementsByClassName, created by Jonathan Snook.

Geez… what a dup. I came here thinking it was 100% CSS but only to find it still involved JavaScript.

Admittedly though it is a nice light weight idea and an alternative to the more fanciful version (lightbox, thickbox, greybox, etc.) out there, but there is a significant difference between this version and the fanciful versions, this CSS version has no graceful degradation should for some reason the client doesn’t have JS turned on or (heaven forbid) a JS incapable browser.

Still I commend you on a good try, but the next time you come up with something, try not to mislead with your titles.
anon

on August 24, 2007 at 4:41 am

I’m going to go against the flow and say the title was accurate. No javascript was needed for the lightbox effect. You do need javascript to trigger the effect.

Good work, I’m going to use this.

I don’t know how other alternatives work, but I was working with a lightbox very similar to yours lately. With one difference, I had a few select fields (<select>) on my page, which seemed to overlay everything in ie (ie6 for sure, but I think ie7 as well). They would display over the .black_overlay and .white_content. The only solution I could find was to put an iframe under white_content, which is quite ugly and still wouldn’t fix selects displaying over black_content.

Has anyone else had a similar problem and found how to avoid it?
Ingus

on August 24, 2007 at 9:35 am

If we don’t look at the misleading title there are some serious problems with the code:

1) if you add more content to the sample page and need to scroll down content and see the box in the scrolled area, you can’t because the absolutely positioned box is above the visible area. And despite the fact that you open it, the visitor does not even notice it.

2) if you open the box and there’s enough content, you can scroll away the box.

I prefer jQuery with a modified jqModal plugin.

The “onclick” event is a DOM event. It may call JavaScript, or some other sort of scripting language that may be available to the browser. It may also access DOM attributes and modifiy them, as in this case. But is not necessarily JavaScript.

on August 24, 2007 at 11:01 am

well had tried similiar things in the past, but not a foolproof option though. Lightbox and other scripts handle modal window professionally and a far better way, have no issues with almost any browsers and scroll thing.

I think geeks cud use this script for showcasing but for hard-core wannabes its a sure shot NO !

It should be

So if no javascript, folk still get the image.

VERY nice, so nice in fact I’ve started to incorperate it into a site I’m building:
http://muuveee.com/img/muuveee_login_box.gif
(I would give you a link to a real demo, but its only currently on my localhost/devbox ;)

When somebody clicks the “Login” link, up pops the box, click out of the box, it goes again, sweet! ;) and I’ve make it into an element using the framework I’m building, so where ever I need a login link, its ready for me in ~10 characters! =)

10/10, simple, easy, and quick! Cheers!

on August 24, 2007 at 11:33 am

Not only your technique DOES use javascript (hell, the *first* thing you gotta see on your example is a link pointing to javascript:void() !!) but it is not even usable with javascript turned off, which is what alternatives are exactly good at.

Honestly I don’t see the point of this.

on August 24, 2007 at 1:34 pm

Yeah, Very misleading, it blatantly uses javascript to show the box, so it is pointless.

You might be able to get the same effect working by using different overloaders for a:hover and a:visited to get the same effect, but I think the point about the javascript ones were that they do not necessarily load the content until requested, so save bandwidth that way – doing a full CSS option would negate that.

Leo

on August 24, 2007 at 11:46 pm

*yawn* This is what happens when the person first discovers the idea and starts playing with it. Later you will discover why your implementation is too limited and won’t work in the real world for big web sites. It doesn’t handle IE select bug. I am 70% sure it will break on pages with scroll bars, or will only work OK on some browsers but not the others when the scroll bar is up and the user scrolls the page.

To get this just right is not that easy. Even a big popular site like reddit.com has a very crappy lightbox. You can scroll down once it appears and click on the page below.

I actually implemented a lightbox that is more or less bulletproof, but obviously it’s not as lightweight as yours. The idea is that not all javascript is evil. Some of it comes from the fact that you know about web development and are covering more use cases. Just because there is some javascript doesn’t mean the person is just adding bloat. I’m amazed this actually got upvoted so much on digg, since it’s an amateur attempt.

I don’t know if anyone else mentioned this, but when I cross browser tested the code, there is a white strip on the right hand side of the browser in IE6 for PC. It is an easy fix though, just change the body tag to:

…then it works fine in IE7, IE6, Firefox and Safari!

I also noticed some issues with centering/scrolling in some browsers, a minor problem, however It may be worth checking out!

Thanks for contributing your efforts, Ignore all the negativity, keep hacking away at the problems (and please change the slightly-misleading title)

Good work….
Thanks

I just noticed no one can see thee code I included, I forgot about the “html injection prevention” most sites have, anyway just add a margin of 0 to the left, right, top and bottom for the body tag…

This is nice, i tried to write something like this without the scale and fade-in effect but got the the problem to cover the whole screen with the 80% layer. However you seem to have it worked out and very lightweight to, this for sure will come in handy since im sick of the fade in stuff that takes 2-3 seconds per image to scale and fade and AHHHH!

Thanks :D

Hi,

Awesome work, for those of you who wants to see it working in a real functioning website. See mine! It has made my site that much more pretty on the eyes!

CLICK ON THE CONTENT BUTTON.

If you make the boarders and padding smaller, the box looks more centered. I have mine at 5px.

Compared to many other solutions, this is f**k to achieve a nice effect that has many applications. If you need more functionality or cross compatibility then use another solution.

Looks like all the Javascript does is turn the display: none into display:block for both divs. You could easily do this with PHP instead of javascript. What I did was just keep display: block in both classes and when I want the lightbox, just dynamically include the divs on the page with PHP.

Or if you really want just a 100% CSS solution.. you could just link to static pages with the lightbox divs coded in. Doubt people would even notice.

WORST, LEAST degradeable JAVASCRIPT lightbox I have seen in quite a while. If you are going to go that ugly inline approach, at least keep the href pointing to the image and add an a return false to the end of the onclick. And you are adding the same kilobytes, just manually to your html, where it can’t be cached just once in a js file.

And the title is false, a blatant lie and misleading. It’s fine for those of us who know better, but for the noviates it’s aimed at…. Basically this is bad google baiting/trolling. I assume the author knows this too, based on the good google results for “css no javascript” posts get and the out going links to a commercial site.

on February 3, 2008 at 2:08 pm

@Brian, well, except he’s trying to improve on what were improvements on this original idea he apparently considers too bloated and on top of that feels the need to exaggerate a claim that is not true. e.g. Slimbox plus dependencies (mootools) weigh in at a lovely 26kb, is feature filled, not as glitchy, definitely gives off the polished look, and degrades nicely. Uses mootools, but will it kill you to use a javascript framework that (for slimbox) weighs in at 19kb? Also, what’s with the big concern over size..after all, one of the more popular uses of this particular technique is for displaying..oh, images. I highly doubt those images would weigh in at under 26kb, so if it makes so much of a deal to your end users who are all on dialup or something (i mean, look, you might even save some bandwidth in the long run as they get cached)…

I think most of the grumbling is coming from the crowd expecting 0% javascript and seeing inline javascript only after beginning to read this post, and not even a good example of what the author was trying to illustrate. It was a waste of time, that’s why everyone’s complaining. :)

Also I might point out that pretty much all of the Lightboxes out there are also “free”, and that the author comes out pretty strongly against pretty much all of them on the basis of being bloated/unnecessary/using frameworks..you know, also known as complaining. Soooooo…

The script is cool and pretty simple. I was just wondering how or if I could implement that same code in the following example:

I want the page 5list.htm to be the white content
on page load. I dont want someone to have to click on it.

Like if I go to http://www.ww90990.com as soon as the
page comes up, I want the white content to load with the black overlay.

Can you tell me what code I would use instead of onclick. The exact code, if you will. Because I am using onload, but it is just not working right.

Any help and assistance would be great.

Thanks

Izzy

on March 23, 2008 at 7:22 pm

it would be much better if the position of both the black_overlay and the white_content was set to “fixed” instead of “absolute”. This means that you don’t get Josh’s problem where the black overlay runs out if you scroll down.

If you leave the white_content’s position attribute as absolute, you can make the shade stay there, but the white_content stay where it is and scroll off the screen.

Hope this helps someone!

The amount of JavaScript that there is or isn’t in what you published is perfectly fine with me. The JavaScript required for a “real” lightbox is over my head, but I think I’d be able to implement this. Thanks!
John Masone

on July 1, 2008 at 12:20 am

I got this code working pretty easily with an iframe instead of a div. BUT the last issue I seem to be having is, the “lightbox” is always the size of the browser window, but its always at the top of the page, even if the page is scrolled somewhat when the initial link is clicked. Is there someway to change this behavior? So that the lightbox (and blackout) are always centered on the browser, at least the browser as it is when you click. ?
Peter

on July 1, 2008 at 4:01 am

Suggest if you use position: fixed in both classes the lighbox and overlay will remain stationary when scrolling the page.

Excellent, excellent work! I love the lightbox concept, but each version I’ve looked at so far (GreyBox, LightBox, etc) has been based on some idiotic javascript framework with 1000s of lines of code. This version is just beautiful, you get the same exact effect (even better, since it doesn’t have the annoying animations) with code you could write on a napkin. Thanks guys!

on August 13, 2008 at 3:48 pm

when more than one images are on the same page, when clicked on, they all load the same image in the ‘lightbox’. Is there a way around this? Great code by the way, will be even more useful if it works for multiple images on same page (about 10 images per page i need for portfolio example)

Despite being slightly misleading, there is no need to set-up js frameworks, and so this is a brill solution for implementing lightbox-type effects in iframes (for iWeb and the likes).

Granted, it’s a basic solution, but as far as I can work out, its the only way to implement such effects without calling up external scripts.

Hi,

Thank you for nice work and not adding libraries or junks that’s why I preferred your code out of all lightbox 2, 1, jquery lightbox, prototype.js etc etc.

issue # 1)
height in percentage doesn’t work when page height is longer.
Solution: Define exact height of page in pixel solved that problem.

issue # 2)
with flash it doesn’t work normal especially vertical and horizontal alignment.
solution: add table with one cel across popup div only and define exact height and width, well running out of time honestly i already have tried 7 light box from web sites all were junk your one found best will paste whole code someday later.
issue # 3)
I could not solve yet is: if ucrrent browser window is half or full or increasing or decreasing height wise this div should float vertically center/middle.

there is no javascript needed.. the point of the title was to say that to have the lightbox positioned properly on the screen there is no javascript needed to detect browsers, or position divs or whatever, such as the jquery thickbox library.

of course you need javascript to control the opening and closing of the lightbox, anyone who opened this article thinking as much should give up web development LOL

Hi Emanuel. Thanks for your Technique. It’s very good. It was really helpfull.

I want to enphasise the positive aspect, that is all. Of course, it uses a little inline Javascript to manipulate the DOM. Othewise, nothing would happen.
Well, best for you! And wait you feature a new one in the future with some more javascript ammount there…

How to get around that?

Those of you that are having problems with flash need to add a “wmode” to your flash embed code. Adding something like this property should work and then allow you to z-index the position.

wmode=”opaque”

Without it your flash will always be on top of everything else. That’s the default.
CodeMonkey

on April 22, 2009 at 1:48 am

I can’t believe peeps here are giving the author grief about whether or not this contains javascript. As far as I’m concerned, it doesn’t. A couple DOM calls versus all those bloated 100k+ .js files out there you’d have to add is NO comparison. Oooooh, and if the browser can’t handle javascript, it won’t work.

Can’t write a check yourself? Jeez.

Well done sir. This is exactly what I’m looking for!

John Doe

on June 1, 2009 at 6:11 am

Why is everyone complaining about this script using “javascript:void(0)”

If you do not want this javascript statement in the page, you can replace it with “#” and it will still work PERFECTLY fine without
“javascript:voice(0)”

And as someone previously stated, onclick=”" is a DOM event.

I personally use this script and I have no problems with Firefox and IE7 or IE8 using “#” as the link target destination.

Many thanks for this brilliant lightweight Lightbox – works great so far as i’m just displaying text…will try images and flash at some point.

FOR those of you having PROBLEMS with:

(1) Black overlay not covering the entire screen when on scroll/large pages

AND

(2) White box not being centered on scroll/large pages

SOLUTION:
set css black_overlay & white_content position: fixed; rather than position: absolute;
Jay

on June 8, 2009 at 7:18 pm

@SARAH, number 158

Sarah the lightbox shows in the ‘white content’ everything within div id=’light’ and the relating javascript code, document.getElementById(‘light’).

Therefore if you want different things to show up in the lightbox then you will have to give them a different ID, e.g. div id=’light2 & document.getElementById(‘light2′), div id=’light3 & document.getElementById(‘light3′) and so on.

I’m sure someone here can do something with functions to simplify this? – here i have two examples, calling FADE as it is constant for the opacity effect:

**JS**

function showLightbox()
{
document.getElementById(‘light1′).style.display=’block’;
document.getElementById(‘fade’).style.display=’block’;
}

function closeLightbox()
{
document.getElementById(‘light1′).style.display=’none’;
document.getElementById(‘fade’).style.display=’none’;
}
function showFade()
{
document.getElementById(‘fade’).style.display=’block’;
}
function clearFade()
{
document.getElementById(‘fade’).style.display=’none’;
}

**HTML**
Link 1

hope that helps.
Jay

on June 8, 2009 at 7:21 pm

sry html code doesn’t fully show…

**HTML**
a href=”javascript:void(0)” onclick = “showLightbox()”>Link 1

///lightbox end

Even though this is not 100% JS free, it is a very simple way to do a nice and simple lighbox when you have a very limited number of images to show.

I changed this:
- “position: fixed”
- “-khtml-opacity: 0.8″
- “text-align: center”
and then i put a “height: 99%” on my images to make them center vertically and show at maximum size without any scrollbars.
J.D.O.

on August 29, 2009 at 2:12 am

This is not pure CSS at all as you have Javascript changing the class. This solution is also not semantic as you have an empty div element. Perhaps you could consider using a little more Javascript and dropping the empty div into the DOM or getting even deeper, appending a div to the DOM and appening the “white” content inside, then style the content from the center so you’ve now no empty elements.
Murali

Hi All,

I found out the issue actually in my web page I was using dropdown list boxes which were been rendered from the database when I was triggering the light box on click of a link the black_overlay class and the white_content was not covering the entire web page it was not able to cover the dropdown list boxes with the defined color in IE 6 Browser.

Due to which it was not able to display the light box properly in this browser even though it was working in all other browser’s including version >IE 6. I tried using image as background which din’t work.

I GOT THE SOLUTION FROM ONE BLOG:

– make the dropdown list box visibility false before the lightbox is triggered and again retain the previous state for the drop down box as visible.

This can be made using a simple

for retaining again make the same as

for the drop down boxes whereever used.

This solved my issue.

Hope this would be of some help. So posted it.

But No Problem with the CSS LIGHTBOX given above its working perfectly in all the browsers.

Good Work Emanuele thank you…. :-)

FMaz

Oh well, the HTML code is displayed, sorry for the the previous post.

so replace the :
href = “javascript:void(0)”
onclick = “document.getElementById(‘light’).style.display=’block’;document.getElementById(‘fade’).style.display=’block’”

By:
href = “#”
onclick = “document.getElementById(‘light’).style.display=’block’;document.getElementById(‘fade’).style.display=’block’;return false;”

Also, if the page is longer than the window size, the position absolute will give you a problem.

It might be interesting to try to replace:
position:absolute;
by:
position:fixed;

Ok, I’m gone now :)

Arden

on December 4, 2009 at 12:55 am

Nice job with the light box! It’s pretty cool!! One thing i found was, if i added a large image, i had to scroll to see it. If you get this problem, what i found you can do is change the “white_content” part of the head code to say this:

.white_content { display: none; position: absolute; top: 1%; left: 25%; width: #%; height: #%; padding: 16px; border: 16px solid #EDF5FA; background-color: white; z-index:1002; overflow: auto;

This will make the white box as big or small as it needs to be for what ever is inside it. One problem with it however, is that the black opacity behind it cuts off down the bottom, so you may need to change the line “height: 100%” (under .black_overlay), to about 120%, or until it works..

Great script though! :D

The only problem (I think) is that if you click outside the highlighted box that means in the greyed area, the window doesn’t go rather you need to click the close icon. This doesn’t happen in other lightbox.

How would it look like if i want to position the bigger lightbox image above and relative to the thumbnail like right corner of thumb is right corner of big picture?

Cheers!

Gr8 work, i think you guys are fool, who are fighting for the the topic “Js included” , can any one tell me who can open the popup without using JS.

Yes also there is a problem is that it ovarlaps the black box over only the window screen opened yet, but if we scroll it , it doesnt work for the rest screen.

I got the Solution is that

position:fixed;
_position:absolute;
top:0;
_top:expression(eval(document.body.scrollTop));

Use this in black_overlay , and it will work perfectly for IE too, thanks

Is really a good job dude thanks !!

Though is very usefull, I must say that by itself it isn’t so much. But it leaves you explore the posibilities. I added a few jQuery fancy effects on open and close; and loaded content via an AJAX request using jQuery too, and is a beauty :-D

on May 6, 2010 at 5:14 pm

A great many people have come on to show exactly how brilliant they are by declaring that the original poster was wrong in his title by stating that the lightbox has no JavaScript. They are either not as brilliant as they think they are or they read an entirely different script that does have JS in the lightbox.

If you are so brilliant, what are you doing hitting Google wich a search anyway?

Quite sensibly, he showed an example of a JavaScript trigger of the documented lightbox, but the lightbox itself has ZERO JS. The lightbox itself is made up of CSS & DIVs.

I say “sensibly” because there are other methods in which you could trigger the lightbox. In fact, they are methods which would work in absolutely any possible browser condition that you could think of… But that doesnt mean you would want to use them.

I love using JS to add some life to my pages – And I love using as LITTLE JS as possible. Therefore I was pleased to find this NO JAVASCRIPT lightbox, but would still use that little JS to trigger it.

I would actually like to thank the poster for going out of his way to share with others, and I feel sorry for him that his payment for doing so was a lot of people crapping on his doorstep and making themselves look like complete idiots.

Easy to follow, and works perfectly with Firefox! Yes, there are like 2 lines of Javascript in the code, BUT they are very easy to use (just copy paste!). This is coming from someone who has never ever used Javascript at all until now for this effect.

I then simply used CSS to style the lightbox the way I wanted.

Thank you for your time and effort, Emmanuele! Am definitely using it for my exam presentation!

I’d like to use this cute little thing. If js or not, I don’t care.

But how to make this baby work with an iframe? I have a link inside an iframe, which should show additional info on some point there.

The iframe contains an input form for a payment gateway, shown inside a shops paymentsite. The lightbox should appear if clicked on an info button on the form. There is then a combination of text and pictures shown.

It seems to work only inside the iframe, the outside isn’t covered with the black overlay.

Also it seems, that there are problems with IEx.The layer seems to be behind all the form objects. Any help appreciated.

like this:
Display picture1:

Afbeelding sluiten

Display picture2:

Afbeelding sluiten

so, instead of picture 2 AGAIN picture1 displayed.
why is this?
ps still the SMALL picture 2 IS displayed, its only the large picture 2 thats not displayed, but as said, picture 1 again

Wait a second.. I used JavaScript… I want my money back!!! Regardless of the title, this is a great piece of work, to do this effect in a manner that has a light footprint. I was able to encapsulate in a single java script function which worked really well (if you don’t mind the java script).

The rest of you haters should spend less time bitching and more time coding and cut the author some slack.

Guess what! I foudn out how to make a loading appear when the lightbox is loading and you can use jQuery to fade in/out the box and the black_overlay!!! It is awesome and works great! I am so glad I know jQuery and I made it where it says “Loading content” with an Ajax loading image and then the content fades in. I just use the JavaScript setTimeout() to make the loading image disappear and make the content of the lightbox appear. It’s sweet! If you want to see it, please email support@nathansmusicstudio.cz.cc and it will open a ticket on my website. I will help you there.

this is a great piece of coding, hardly anything to it its just the kind of lightweight solution i have been looking for it just needs a bit if work to create a nice transform effect if i can do that and still only use a bit of js then its probably the best out there thanks

this is a great little code.. I’m a web designing noob and looking for a simple lightbox for various contents (html & image) and this has exactly that.

It’s short, precise and delivered exactly what it promised. I’m going to add my bit of code to it to tailor it as per my requirement. Kudos!

The actual effect is 100% CSS, while the call is in JavaScript.

Hi, guys! I made some changes to this code.
For example, you don’t need to click on Close button, but anywhere out of the lightBox, also if you scroll down the page while the white_box is display: block, you won’t see the fade div end at some point. That one was just changing position to fixed. And I also made the code work for two buttons. http://menian-lee.eu/tutorial/lightbox/ Cheers

@elf boy (2008)

Elf boy asked about how to stop the video player after he embedded a youtube video in the lightbox. I have worked out a simple solution that can be found by clicking on one of my a tags at http://rexburgcitydeals.com

All I did to accomplish this was to add a new paramater to the onclick event for the word close (it’s a close icon in my case). The paramater to add is “window.location.reload( true );” All this does is refresh the iframe so that the video closes.

Alternatively you can place the lightbox div inside the overlay and then just hide/show the overlay.

Haven’t tried this in IE 6 (which I doubt will work), but then again, who cares?

Thanks.

on May 27, 2011 at 5:26 pm

how do you add more than one image to the lightbox? like a gallery? i tried the code 3 times on one page but the popup was the same picture, even though i changed the image url.

thanks!

There are some who complain about how this has javascript. It is obvious that the author is aware of the tiny bit of js in there. What he obviously means that this does not use any kind of javascript library. So unless, you can provide a cross-browser pure css solution, stop making stupid remarks.

Some say that this is not commercial grade. Most of us are not really developing Amazon.com or ebay.com – For most sites this is OK.

For those of us who do not know javascript, jQuery solutions are a blackbox, and changing the behaviours of the jQuery modals becomes a struggle. With with this, if you know a bit of a css, you have some idea as to what is happening. And very little code is involved.

I use this technique at a few of my websites. They work fine. Did have problems with IE (who does not). I am not sure what I did to fix. It works on IE8. I did not check with other lower versions. I am willing to ignore people who are on IE6. You do need to have the doc type right for this to work on IE. I use the following:

I very much appreciate this author’s efforts.

You can see my implementation by clicking on “Mona Lisa” on this site: http://goodandbadinventions.tumblr.com/

I changed a few attributes. I definitely found that fixing the position of the lightbox worked better that keeping it absolute. I also had to make the darker area much larger. And I changed to border color.

I haven’t given it much thought yet, but I can’t seem to figure out how use this code for more than one link on the same page.

You could also in the black overlay:

and also the white space

So when a user clicks the black overlay or any where in the whitespace other than the content of the actually whitespace it removes the overlay and white space.

I do have a question though, and I hope you can help me with this. If I use the same code for a second or third link, even if the text to displayed on the lightbox is different, after I save the code and preview the page, every link opens the same lightbox with the same content. I don’t know if you understand what I’m trying to explain.

Hi. Yes, it usee JavaScript. It’s impossible to make a Ligtbox withous JS. I’ve made a pure CSS lightbox, but need a little tricky (no JS, or PHP, or any, just CSS).

#prueba
{
background:green;
position:absolute;
top:0px;
left:0px;
width:100%;
height:100%;
visibility:hidden;
}
a:active
{
visibility:hidden;
}
a:active+div#prueba
{
visibility:visible;
}

Mostrar
Contenido de prueba

It works if you click the link and drag the mouse outside the link a pair of pixels. After that, you can release the mouse and you´ll have the DIV active. Just click it to hide.
Hope it works for you.

Hello!

I find this very useful. What I want is the gray area to apear over a page with the onload event. I did it like this:

How could I achieve that is for example between 8:00 and 17:00 the overlay is red and between 17:00 and 18:00 the overlay is green. On other time there is no overlay.

For detecting the time I used this (and example times entered):

onload=function(){
var rightNow = new Date();
var hour = rightNow.getHours();
var newDisplay = ‘none’; // unless we see otherwise

if((hour>= 1) && (hour<= 5)) {
newDisplay = 'block';
}
}

But I can’t seem to find a way to combine those two to work. Any help is greatly appreciated.

people don’t get excited of seeing the word “without javascript” just be excited to see a light box with such a small coding, that too with CSS dominance.
i agree my friend Emanuele is right. this code is easily readable and editable comparing to other complex light box codings, so saying it as
“without javascript” is correct.

thanks for this, I loved the flexibility and light weightedness. I used your code and fixed some bugs as well as added hacks to this and have updated them here http://nishantarora.in/?p=796

Bugs Fixed:
1. the lightbox earlier did not show on the entire page, it has been resolved, it remains on top regardless of scrolling up/down
2. the video kept on running after closing the box, a workaround has been added

Thanks again!

oi is it possible to run three or four of these at the same time with images instead of text? if so please email me some script to do so or tell me what changes need to be made.

thanx
