jQuery Superbox! is a jQuery plugin which allows you display windows with the lightbox-like effect. The minified version of Superbox is only 2kb when using GZip compressing, 5.4kb otherwise.

Main reasons to create a new script of this kind:

  • Accessibility – only the rel attribute is used to launch the script. The href attribute is therefore coherent: it targets the address of a picture, of a page, or an element identifier (anchor).
  • Extensibility – Superbox doesn’t set any style, everything is easily and entirely CSS stylable.
  • The MIT license – this license allows you to use, duplicate, modify, publish, distribute, merge, sell and even change the script license. Your only obligation is to keep the script’s author name.

jQuery Superbox! can display pictures, image galleries, external pages, a page element or even AJAX loaded content.
