Here's the link (post isn't finished yet, but the permalink IS valid and *will work* once it's made public). http://randsco.com/index.php/2009/08/31/improving_an_easy_lightbox_effect Cheers, -stk PS - In the meantime, you can look at a demo of both the (hoping your comments accept anchor tags) <a href="http://randsco.com/test/lightbox/start.html" rel="nofollow">original code</a> and the <a href="http://randsco.com/test/lightbox/better.html" rel="nofollow">improved code</a>. (I'm fairly certain I'm done monkeying w/the code, just need to finish the write-up). PPS - Speaking of accessibility - tsk tsk for needing JavaScript to make comments on your site. :-p TypeSett -

I know from the comments he gets on his website that his article is mis-named for sure. There is javascript and it's used for handling some events and so forth and does depend on it. But It's not an issue for me because it's a lightweight solution and since I used it for a real project before, I have no problem including it on the list. Accessibility wise - you make a valid point but that's up to the people making the website if they want to support Javascript. As for strict standards compliance... if that's what you're trying to achieve... take the concept and make it standards compliant. @stk – thanks for your comment, and I mean it.

I would advise you to learn about JavaScript and accessibility, before publishing a (short) list of "CSS Techniques You Should Know About". Firstly, number five shouldn't be on your list. It's not a CSS technique. It relies <em>completely</em> on JavaScript. Secondly, not only does it rely on JavaScript, but visitors who don't have JavaScript (or their JavaScript is borked) see nothing! It violates accessibility guidelines. Thirdly, the CSS and HTML used by the technique doesn't validate (i.e., it's not "web-standard" code). Fourthly, it fails in Internet Explorer version 6.
