iBox - Lightweight
iBox is a compact and easy to use overlay script. Smaller than other scripts, it supports images, inner divs, and even external pages.

It just works. Nice.
same comment as tinus i like it had it up and running in a few minutes, and it just works.
however one of my friends( i assume i can call him a friend ;)) noticed that in safari the overlay doesn not cover the entire screen, anyone have any ideas, im going to post this on his site also, but maybe some JS guru may know a quick answer
@David B.: worked OK for me in Safari - could be a version issue?
one bug in FF is when you click on the image itself it shows scroll bars. It's nice but it still looks like lightbox. Why call it something else if it's lightbox with a few added functions. I am not saying this does not work as it says, but it's not ground breaking stuff. Congrats to whoever made it because I couldn't, but iBox isn't really anything new.
On a side note, as a design community can we stop naming projects with "i" infront of it, it was tired years ago. A general rule of thumb would be, if you're mother knows about it and can say what it does is a normal day to day conversation there's a good chance it's played out.
@David B.: I too noticed the problem with Safari 1.3 (don't have version 2 immediately at hand to test). To fix the Safari problem, comment out lines 71 and 272 of the ibox.js file. Doing so appears to have no affect on other browsers [quickly tested in IE5+, Mozilla (win, mac), Firefox (win, mac), Camino, Shiira, Opera (win, mac)]. Others might want to confirm that, though.
Cody Lingley updated thickbox to fix Safari bug

awesome Zooley, i myself actually dont have a mac to test that on, but we really need to get that info the creator so he can update the code.
