Dear Dan,
Not the animations are the reason for this file size.. Let me explain:
-- 1. ------
Thickbox
$("body").append("<div id='TB_load'><img
src='images/loadingAnimation.gif' /></div>");
ImageBox
loader = document.createElement('img');
loader.src = jQuery.ImageBox.options.loaderSRC;
jQuery(loader)
.attr('id', 'ImageBoxLoader')
.css(
{
position : 'absolute'
}
);
-- 2. ------
Thickbox
$("body").append("<iframe id='TB_HideSelect'></iframe><div
id='TB_overlay'></div><div id='TB_window'></div>");
ImageBox
if ($.browser.msie) {
iframe = document.createElement('iframe');
jQuery(iframe)
.attr(
{
id : 'ImageBoxIframe',
src : 'javascript:false;',
frameborder : 'no',
scrolling : 'no'
}
)
.css (
{
display : 'none',
position : 'absolute',
top : '0',
left : '0',
width : '100%',
filter :
'progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Alpha(opacity=0)'
}
);
jQuery('body').append(iframe);
}
overlay = document.createElement('div');
jQuery(overlay)
.attr('id', 'ImageBoxOverlay')
.css(
{
position : 'absolute',
display : 'none',
width : '100%',
top : '0',
left : '0',
opacity : 0
}
)
.append(document.createTextNode(' '))
.click(jQuery.ImageBox.hideImage);
and so on.
And my words where like: " *in some situations Thickbox is too complex
or not that slick like Lightbox.*" So what I've done is a replica of
something slick.
Again I see on this list people trying to put things in competition
where is not the case. This plugin will never get public since Thickbox
fits you to good.
