Re: [WSG] valid lightbox++ ??
I am not exactly sure if this way is the best. I think you should incorporate a new CSS rule into your CSS and specify with a class assigning to that lightbox link to it. With the flash, you would want to add to have the width and height to the CSS rule so it doesn't have to show up on the HTML validation radar. -Josh S.

There's a jQuery plugin called "metadata" that allows you to put these kinds of options inside the class=" " attribute. An example is on this page: http://jqueryjs.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/plugins/metadata/test/index.html The tags that use a data=" " attribute don't validate, but the ones that use class=" " seem to validate. Maybe you could try to find a way to use the class=" " attribute to pass your options to Lightbox++, or use a similar plugin for jQuery that allows options to be submitted via the metadata plugin. This way you won't have to rely on putting incorrect attributes in your tags. -- -- Christian Montoya christianmontoya.net *** List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: memberh...@webstandardsgroup.org ***
