Shadowbox Media Viewer Popular Plugin

Shadowbox is an online media viewer application that supports all of the web's most popular media publishing formats. Shadowbox is written entirely in JavaScript and CSS and is highly customisable. Using Shadowbox, website authors can showcase a wide assortment of media in all major browsers without navigating users away from the linking page.

Although Shadowbox can be used in standalone mode, it's just as easy to use Shadowbox with your JavaScript library of choice for a given project. Shadowbox comes bundled with adapters for the following JavaScript frameworks:

* Prototype
* jQuery
* MooTools (requires 1.2 Core)
* Dojo Toolkit
* Yahoo! User Interface Library (requires yahoo-dom-event.js)
* Ext (requires ext-core.js)

Shadowbox supports many different media formats via the Flash, QuickTime, and Windows Media Player browser plugins. Windows media files are supported on the Mac via the Flip4Mac QuickTime plugin.

The simplest way to tell Shadowbox which links you want it to open is to add a rel="shadowbox" (or rel="lightbox") attribute to each link. See the documentation for full usage instructions.

Being lazy at heart I like the fact that I can easily add shadow box to my existing images with just a bit of copying and pasting.

I have used shadows.js before so this is very easy for me to pick it up in joomla.
This is wondeful tools and gives the users freedom to modify it.
This is the most simple gallery module I've ever seen.

However the it is not easy for the user who don't know the HTML to use and it takes times for adding lots of pictures.

Another question if I enable the module, I found it will load the .js and .css files when I open the index pages. Have you tested how large it will be for I don't want to my index page become slow.

Simply perfect! To be honest, its the first plugin i see capable to load wmv files without bugs, restrictions or any kind of problems.

Nice job ;)

This plugin is great. For the last two weeks I have a problem using shadowbox because of a conflict with a greybox library. This plugin doesn't conflict with my greybox library and I can use them both together! Awesome work.
This is a very powerful and helpful plugin
