Problems with Internet Explorer and Lightbox
Lightbox is working/looking great with my Mac browsers (Firefox, Safari), but I'm experiencing an issue with it in the current version of Internet Explorer for PC: Scrollbars appear around the display window which prevent the entire image from being viewed at once. I tried removing the dimensional attributes from the outer image container, but it didn't help.

Go back to how it was before you tried to fix it. Use a valid URL DOCTYPE for your page like:
It should be the very first thing in your page's source code, before the opening <html> tag.HTML Code:<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">

Thanks, John. I'm new to the concept of "valid URL DOCTYPE" and to http://www.w3.org/. How do I determine a valid URL DOCTYPE?
Thanks again,

HTML 4.01 strict is very good. You may have better luck with the one I posted in my last message though. The main reason for a valid URL DOCTYPE in this case is to trigger IE's (6+) standards mode in rendering the lightbox. The URL in this case is a link back to the W3C's DTD for that DOCTYPE. This is required to trigger standards mode in IE, though the HTML 5 DOCTYPE, which is very simple and has no URL:
is supposed to trigger standards mode as well. I haven't tested it enough to be sure if it will be sufficient in this case, but you're welcome to give it a try.HTML Code:<!DOCTYPE HTML>
Once you have a DOCTYPE, you can see if your page is valid for that DOCTYPE, but that's a whole other story, often not necessary, though generally a good idea.
