What javascript library do you recommend to display/popup screenshots on a webpage? [closed]

Question

I've seen some nice screenshot popups around the web, do you know of any library to do that? I could write my own, but... if there's something free I can save time.

Thanks!

Answer 1

Sounds like you want a lightbox.

jQuery lightbox gets my vote.

Dead simple - no point me writing examples, its all there on the site.

Answer 2

Here is a collection of some Javascript libraries from Smashing Magazine - 30 Scripts For Galleries, Slideshows and Lightboxes (I excluded CSS-based, see website for full list):

Answer 3

You didn't say whose website you want thumbnails from, or how many thumbnails. Look at Alexa's service:

Answer 4

Dojo has two: Lightbox and Lightbox Nano (links are directly to nightlies, this server can be slow).

Answer 5

Multibox is also quite popular
