lightbox 41 Lightbox Scripts Compared The Lightbox Clones Matrix tool lists a number of javascript scripts designed to embed various objects in HTML pages, such as images, flash animations, movies and iframes.

Lightbox tools are very common and most of them are easy to use. The problem seems to be to find the right tool which suit your needs for the web project! There a dozen of solutions out there. To make life easier a guy who named himself Ozh compared most of them.

Criteria

Its javascript size (not considering CSS, images or anything else)
The library needed, if any, mentionning its javascript size. I opted to compare uncompressed javascript file sizes, as it (sorts of) reflects the complexity and/or power of the library, regardless of how packed/minified/obfuscated it usually ships.
The total javascript size. This data won’t interest someone already using a javascript library on their site, obviously.
Image support
The ability to group images into a single collection, allowing for easily browsing through images within the same overlay
Any other common object supported: inline content (ie content already existing in the page, but typically hidden), iframe, content fetched by an Ajax call, video, Flash.

There’s a handy filter set to make your selection easier. All the options are logical “OR”, ie selecting several features will list scripts with at least one of them. Note that you can shrink the filter box if you don’t need it.
