A permanent replacement for Lightbox and Thickbox … I think :), thanks for the Via: link
Also, current version: added adapter for MooTools library, Dojo Toolkit adapter, Added plugin to jQuery adapter with support for metadata, many bug fixes …
@Ivan,
I believe that Shadowbox is also great. One thing I2m not sure about is, after some testing, I realized that it requires Quicktime to be installed, else you get an error.
The browser plugin is required to display the media properly, in your case QuickTime plugin is not installed.
Take a look at ‘error handling’ and ‘handleUnsupported’ option in the options section.
