Lightbox - add link inside caption

[katebellami]

the links don't seem to be working. how do I set them up inside of a rev tag? I would like the caption to say:

Wee Babe - branding and website
weebabe.com (this would link out to weebabe.com)
thanks!

Please include a link to the page on your site that contains the problematic code so we can check it out.

The initial issue I was having was putting links within the captions, and now that I changed the script to jquery, it still doesnt seem to let me add links. thanks!

Looks good. All you have to do is add the link(s) you want. For example, where you have:

<a href="images/slides/weebabe-1.png" rel="lightbox-wb" rev="Wee Babe - branding + website<br />weebabe.com"><img src="images/thumb-wb.png" alt="Wee Babe" style="border:none; margin:0px; margin-right:16px;" /></a>

You can make that like so:

<a href="images/slides/weebabe-1.png" rel="lightbox-wb" rev="Wee Babe - branding + <a href='http://www.weebabe.com/'>website</a>"><img src="images/thumb-wb.png" alt="Wee Babe" style="border:none; margin:0px; margin-right:16px;" /></a>

Make sure to notice that the href attribute of the nested a tag there uses single quote (') delimiters:

href='http://www.weebabe.com/'

not:

href="http://www.weebabe.com/"

Do the same thing for target or anything else you want/need to put in there.

works like a charm - thanks!!

Unfortunately, I'm back! I started a new thread, but realized it probably best to continue this one since it is for the same script. It doesnt appear to be working on an iphone (have not checked ipad, but will tonight when I have it with me). When you click the thumbnail, rather than opening the lightbox viewer and having the ability to scroll through images, it just opens the image like a separate page.

thank you for all of your help!

SlimBox2 does not, nor do any other box/lightbox type scripts that I know of, work on mobile devices. At least with SlimBox2 they can see the large image and use their device's native controls for panning, enlargement and navigation. Many other scripts of this sort do not degrade as gracefully in mobile devices.

It's possible there are one or more lightbox type scripts out there that perform better on mobiles. I'm just not aware of any.

I know the original lightbox I was using works on mobile devices...maybe I just need to go back to that. But is there no way to put ahref links in the captions? That was all I needed, which led us to slimbox. any suggestions?

[jscheuer1]

Are you 100% sure? If so, which exact version of which lightbox type script were you using?

If it really works on mobiles, I'm pretty sure it can have captions with links in them.

I mean a lot of them don't, but almost all can be made to.

The site that I have up that uses lightbox and works on iphone is: http://www.runawaybridedestinations.com/gallery.html
and here is the link to the lightbox script: http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamici...box2/index.htm

Basically, I want the same functionality as this lightbox but I would like to be able to add a link in the caption.
Any ideas? Thanks!
