1) Script Title: Lightbox JS 2.0

2) Script URL (on DD): http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex4/lightbox2/index.htm

3) Describe problem: For some reason, in IE 6 and 7, the black field around the image does not extend all the way to the right of the page, it leaves a stripe. Works okay in FF.

Demo page works fine, but not on my test page -

Known issue?

Thanks

I have seen this happen before, but the causes can be various. In your case it looks like simply a matter of neglecting to use a DOCTYPE. With this script, one should have at least a:


<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/1999/REC-html401-19991224/loose.dtd">

DOCTYPE. This one is recommended:


<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">

That wil do it or IE 7. For 6, you may need to add to your stylesheet:


* html body {
margin:0;
}
