ray@it-endeavors.com Aug 4, 2011 1:48 PM (in response to mookie blaylock)There are many ways of builting something like what you are talking about. I would sugggest Trying Spry.. There are several slideshow wigets that can automate almost all of the process. Check out the Adobe Dreamweacer Widget Browser.

2. Re: fancybox for html pages
dragoonzen1111 Aug 4, 2011 1:53 PM (in response to mookie blaylock)This is tricky, I don't know of or heard of anything that can move through pages with lightbox or fancybox. I can only think of a database or CMS where the pages are store in the database which are called upon like most shopping cart type website.

mookie blaylock Aug 5, 2011 12:23 PM (in response to dragoonzen1111)Yeah. So, how do you do it with negligible knowledge of PHP/MYSQL?

There are several and they all work with HTML pages.
* jQuery Cycle Widget
* Lightbox Gallery Widget
* Spry Content Slides
* Spry Image SlideshowI built this gallery with jQuery Fancybox (mouse over full size images to see the arrows)

http://twitter.com/altwebThanks, Nancy. The examples you gave are all image galleries. I am trying to create a lightbox with prev/next capabilities that accesses a folder of .html docs. These are not .jpg or .gif files. Do you know of a plugin that does that?

This is an image based slideshow. The question is: can you build a lightbox from a folder that contains only .html files?

Nancy O. Aug 5, 2011 5:12 PM (in response to ray@it-endeavors.com)I think Mookie wants a way to bring a folder of HTML documents into a modal window with prev & next buttons.
A typcial lightbox (modal window system) won't display a folder of HTML pages without some custom server-side coding (PHP). I don't have a quick & easy solution for this.

http://twitter.com/altwebTime to crack the spine on those CS5 for PHP/MYSQL books...
I was hoping for a plugin... but, I don't think one exists.

ray@it-endeavors.com Aug 6, 2011 11:42 AM (in response to Nancy O.)I agree. But it sounds like someone wants a navigation system without having to do the link work. Even using frames would require that, however.
