A customizable lightbox plugin for jQuery. See the [project page](http://jacklmoore.com/colorbox/) for documentation and a demonstration, and the [FAQ](http://jacklmoore.com/colorbox/faq/) for solutions and examples to common issues. Released under the [MIT license](http://www.opensource.org/licenses/mit-license.php).
* Fixed a regression where Flash content displayed in Colorbox would be reloaded if the browser window was resized.
* Added safety check to make sure that Colorbox's markup is only added to the DOM a single time, even if $.colorbox.init() is called multiple times. This will allow site owners to manually initialize Colorbox if they need it before the DOM has finished loading.
* Added property "data" to specify GET or POST data when using Ajax. Colorbox's ajax functionality is handled by jQuery's .load() method, so the data property works the same way as it does with .load().
* Added property "fixed" which can provide fixed positioning for Colorbox, rather than absolute positioning. This will allow Colorbox to remain in a fixed position within the visitors viewport, despite scrolling. IE6 support for this was not added, it will continue to use the default absolute positioning.
Files Changed:jquery.colorbox.js/jquery.colorbox-min.js, colorbox.css (all) and example 4 background png files
* Better IE related transparency workarounds. IE7 and up now uses the same background image sprite as other browsers.
* Added error handling for broken image links. A message will be displayed telling the user that the image could not be loaded.
* Added new property: 'fastIframe' and set it to true by default. Setting to fastIframe:false will delay the loading graphic removal and onComplete event until iframe has completely loaded.
* Ability to redefine $.colorbox.close (or prev, or next) at any time.
* By default, Colorbox returns focus to the element it was launched from once it closes. This can now be disabled by setting the 'returnFocus' property to false. Focus was causing problems for some users who had their anchor elements inside animated containers.
* Fixed a bug where iframed URLs would be truncated if they contained an unencoded apostrophe.
* Now uses the exact href specified on an anchor, rather than the version returned by 'this.href'. This was causing "#example" to be normalized to "http://domain/#example" which interfered with how some users were setting up links to inline content.
* Event delegation is now used for elements that Colorbox is assigned to, rather than individual click events.
* Additional callbacks have been added to represent other stages of Colorbox's lifecycle. Available callbacks, in order of their execution: onOpen, onLoad, onComplete, onCleanup, onClosed These take place at the same time as the event hooks, but will be better suited than the hooks for targeting specific instances of Colorbox.
* Added 'innerWidth' and 'innerHeight' options to allow people to easily set the size dimensions for Colorbox, without having to anticipate the size of the borders and buttons.
* Removed the IE-only stylesheets and conditional comments for example styles 1 & 4. All CSS is handled by a single CSS file for all examples.
* Removed user-agent sniffing from the js and replaced it with feature detection. This will allow correct rendering for visitors masking their agent type.
* Added 'scrollbars' option to allow users to turn off scrollbars when using the resize() method.
* Renamed the 'resize' option to be less ambiguous. It's now 'scalePhotos'.
* Renamed the 'cbox_close' event to be less ambiguous. It's now 'cbox_cleanup'. It is the first thing to happen in the close method while the 'cbox_closed' event is the last to happen.
Files Changed: jquery.colorbox.js/jquery.colorbox-min.js, example stylesheets and background images (core styles have not changed and the updates will not affect existing user themes / old example themes)
* Code cleanup and reduction, better organization and documentation in the full source.
* Added ability to use functions in place of static values for Colorbox's options (thanks Ken!).
* Added an option for straight HTML. Example: `$.colorbox({html:'<p>Howdy</p>', open:true})`
* Added an event for the beginning of the closing process. This is in addition to the event that already existed for when Colorbox had completely closed. 'cbox_close' and 'cbox_closed' respectively.
* Fixed a minor bug in IE6 that would cause a brief content shift in the parent document when opening Colorbox.
* Fixed a minor bug in IE6 that would reveal select elements that had a hidden visibility after closing Colorbox.
* The 'esc' key is unbound now when Colorbox is not open, to avoid any potential conflicts.
* Fixed a bug with trying to set a value for rel during a direct call to Colorbox. Example: `$.colorbox({rel:'foo', open:true});`
* Changed how href/rel/title settings are determined to avoid users having to manually update Colorbox settings if they use JavaScript to update any of those attributes, after Colorbox has been defined.
* Added bicubic scaling for resized images in the original IE7.
* Removed the IE6 stylesheet and png files from Example 3. It now uses the same png file for the controls that the rest of the browsers use (an alpha transparency PNG8). This example now only has 2 graphics files and 1 stylesheet.
* Added a maximum width and maximum height. Example: {height:800, maxHeight:'100%'}, would allow the box to be a maximum potential height of 800px, instead of a fixed height of 800px. With maxHeight of 100% the height of Colorbox cannot exceed the height of the browser window.
* Added 'rel' setting to add the ability to set an alternative rel for any Colorbox call. This allows the user to group any combination of elements together for a gallery, or to override an existing rel. attribute so those element are not grouped together, without having to alter their rel in the HTML.
* Added a 'photo' setting to force Colorbox to display a link as a photo. Use this when automatic photo detection fails (such as using a url like 'photo.php' instead of 'photo.jpg', 'photo.jpg#1', or 'photo.jpg?pic=1')
* Removed the need to ever create disposable elements to call colorbox on. Colorbox can now be called directly, without being associated with any existing element, by using the following format:
`$.colorbox({open:true, href:'yourLink.xxx'});`
* Colorbox settings are now persistent and unique for each element. This allows for extremely flexible options for individual elements. You could use this to create a gallery in which each page in the gallery has different settings. One could be a photo with a fade transition, next could be an inline element with an elastic transition with a set width and height, etc.
* Added hooks for key events: cbox_open, cbox_load, cbox_complete, cbox_closed.
* Fixed an IE transparency-stacking problem, where transparent PNGs would show through to the background overlay.
* Fixed an IE iframe issue where the ifame might shift up and to the left under certain circumstances.
* Fixed an IE6 bug where the loading overlay was not at full height.
* Removed the delay in switching between same-sized gallery content when using transitions.
* Changed how iframes are loaded to make it more compatible with iframed pages that use DOM dependent JavaScript.
* Changed how the JS is structured to be better organized and increase compression. Increased documentation.
* Changed CSS :hover states to a .hover class. This sidesteps a minor IE8 bug with css hover states and allows easier access to hover state user styles from the JavaScript.
* Changed: elements added to the DOM have new ID's. The naming is more consistent and less likely to cause conflicts with existing website stylesheets. All stylesheets have been updated.
* Changed the behavior for prev/next links so that Colorbox does not get hung up on broken links. A visitor can now skip through broken or long-loading links by clicking prev/next buttons.
* Added a public method for closing Colorbox: $.colorbox.close(). This will allow iframe users to add an event to close Colorbox without having to create an additional function.
* Added timestamp to iframe name to prevent caching - this was a problem in some browsers if the user had multiple iframes and the visitor left the page and came back, or if they refreshed the page.
* Photos are now horizontally centered if they are smaller than the lightbox size. Also vertically centered for browsers newer than IE7.
* Buttons in the examples are now included in the 'protected zone'. The lightbox will never expand it's borders or buttons beyond an accessible area of the screen.
* Keypress events don't queue up by holding down the arrow keys.
* Changed 'contentIframe' and 'contentInline' to 'inline' and 'iframe'. Removed 'contentAjax' because it is automatically assumed for non-image file types.
* Changed 'contentWidth' and 'contentHeight' to 'fixedWidth' and 'fixedHeight'. These sizes now reflect the total size of the lightbox, not just the inner content. This is so users can accurately anticipate % sizes without fear of creating scrollbars.
* Clicking on a photo will now switch to the next photo in a set.
* Changed the content-type check so that it does not assume all links to photos should actually display photos. This allows for Ajax/inline/and iframe calls on anchors linking to picture file types.
