Lightwindow doesn’t allow select elements for some reason. Haven’t tried this with Lightview yet.

I’ve tried reproducing this to no success has anyone got a clue. They’re using scriptaculous but the code just doesn’t run on my local server. I’ve been through the javascripts to see if they where being locked down to which they weren’t.

@Mike – this has actually been out for quite some time. I first implemented it about a year ago.

This: http://www.mjijackson.com/shadowbox/ is still much better though. It runs off of multiple .js libraries, so whichever is your favorite… go with it.

I use LightView (http://www.nickstakenburg.com/projects/lightview/) that has done the same thing for quite a long time. The developer even added changes to his script by my request (general request, nothing too specific). Couldn’t ask for a better resource.
