Bootstrap and Lightbox2.7.1 on click, opens blank window...

Report · Sep 18, 2017

I've researched until my eyes water, and I've turned my scripts and code inside out, but I continue to miss the answer.

There had been, in the past, an issue with mis-named img / image path is lightbox css, but I have the correct naming protocol (I believe) in place.

Test page at: https://0182d1d.netsolhost.com/SatGrp-BOOTSTRAP/galleries/digitalArt.html

Thanks in advance

There is nothing wrong with the way you have set up the code its just that this lighbox doesn't work with the jquery library version you are linking to.

If you look in the original download folder for the lightbox you will see a different version of the jquery library is linked to the example page.

This lightbox is light years old, it doesnt appear to even be responsive out of the box.

I would advise you look for a more up-to-date one that uses current versions of the jquery library.

Since you're already using Bootstrap, why not use Bootstrap's built-in Modal & Carousel components to create your gallery? No Lightbox scripts required.

Nancy,

As usual, you've provided a great service. I learn a great deal from you and the others whose forum names I see often providing answers, and more importantly, willing to go out of your way to offer guidance.

Would give you a "correct" but have to settle for "helpful".

Thank You.
