I’ve been experimenting with VisualLightbox and have been experiencing problems integrating the code it generates with FreewayPro. I’ve looked at the other threads on this subject but none seems to mention this possible issue.
The problem I have happens when you click on an image to enlarge it. You should get an even border all around the image. However Freeway seems to stop this from happening.
Through trial and error I have worked out that by deleting the line “table { empty-cells:hide }” from the Freeway-generated code it works perfectly: http://www.dmoft.co.uk/testvlb/fwedit.html
Given that Freeway keeps adding “table { empty-cells:hide }” into each page I guess it must be important. Is there a way to stop this code being added to each page or code I can add to over-ride it? What effect will this have on the rest of the page code Freeway generates?
While I can’t answer your question specifically, I did use VLB on a website I did last month. I don’t recall having any significant trouble with it. Would my example help? It might at least give you something to look at for the sake of comparison. Here are a couple of examples:
(Note: some of my images are very small because that is all I had to work with, it’s not a limitation of VLB))
Thanks for the links but they also show the same issue I was mentioning - the left, top and right borders are all missing from the enlarged image.
It should look like:
However those on your page look like:
After a good night’s sleep I have revisited the issue and may have come up with a possible solution.
I have created a style called ‘table’ and used the extended tab to set empty-cells to ‘show’. I then applied this style to some non-published text on the pasteboard and now the lightbox seems to work properly.
There’s a slight problem with the background shading not filling the whole browser window but hopefully adding this style this may help others working with VisualLightbox as well, unless I’ve overlooked something else…
Thanks. I can’t take credit for the photos but can take the blame for the file sizes - they should be reduced now. I was just so relieved to finally get it working!
THANK YOU for this post! I was so frustrated with Visual LightBox frames not showing properly in Freeway. I put your suggested code on the page html markup:
