...just been looking at thickbox - any know how to add the resize function to it? So it always open the overlay in central position even after resize?

...anyone?? does anyone know how/where I can thickbox to recognise the browser being resized and retain the overlays central position - it only seems to work if you resize and then refresh the browser? Is there no way to make the overlay always stay central?
Please?

I thought 'TinyBox' was worth mentioning here...

Still lots of research to do. But definitely digging highslide at the moment (as well as this thread).

One downside of lightbox is that people using FFFFound and Dropular can't snag the images displayed through it.

I find it makes for a quite a disjointed user experience

I have seen people click the back button after opening a lightbox image and wonder what just happened. Depends on your audience.

In my experience the Lightbox tool is now a standard way for displaying content, however I personally use colorbox as I've had clashes with thickbox. These things are really easy to imlpement and degrade well too. I say go for it and try not to use the standard.

Seriously,
USE THIS: it is jQuery even more simplified, it could be batshit easier than this, plus it has quite some options, design elements etc.
