Downloadtube Editor Review

Slimbox is a 4kb visual clone of the popular Lightbox JS. It was written using the compact mootools framework. It was designed to be small, efficient, more convenient and 100% compatible with the original Lightbox v2. It has been tested in all modern browsers: Firefox, Internet Explorer 6+, Opera 8+, Safari 1.3+ and Camino. It is not compatible with the Internet Explorer 5.5. Slimbox requires the mootools framework, version 1.2 or more recent.

Features:

- Slimbox is ready to launch as soon as the document is ready. This means that you don’t have to wait for all images of the page to be loaded before clicking on a link launching the Lightbox effect.
- The left and right arrow keys can be used to navigate through images, and the ESC key can be used to close Slimbox (Warning: in Mozilla browsers, the ESC key is also used to stop GIF images from animating).
- The dark background overlay can be clicked anywhere to close Slimbox, even on the parts located on the left and right of the image.
- The script is more robust; for example you can try to start-stop Slimbox very quickly to interrupt the animation then resume it and you won’t notice any bug like in the original Lightbox where sometimes the animation stops or the captions are wrongly sized.
- Slimbox temporary hides flash animations and other embedded videos while it is open to avoid display bugs in some browsers.
- With a special option, slimbox allows you to navigate between the first and last images.
- Slimbox can be launched from the traditional image links inside the page like the original Lightbox, but also directly from a Javascript call using a special method.
- The code has been entirely rewritten with efficiency in mind for the mootools framework. The script itself is as tiny as 4kb (uncompressed).
- Slimbox has a much more powerful API, allowing you to apply the Lightbox effect on many kinds of links easily.
- The Slimbox CSS are simpler and 100% valid (no more CSS hacks). Also, all images used by Slimbox are specified in the CSS instead of the Javascript so it is easier to style.
- Slimbox does not use the 1 pixel transparent gif image needed by Lightbox.

Downloadtube.com Editor Final Note:

Slimbox allows you to present images with a simple and lightweight Lightbox JS clone.
