Open a Div in Lightbox

To open a div in the lightbox, firstly, define a div with an ID in your webpage. You can add CSS style display:none; to make it invisible on the page.

<div id="mydiv" style="display:none;">
  <div class="lightboxcontainer">
	<div class="lightboxleft">
	  <div class="divtext">
		<p class="divtitle" style="font-size:16px;font-weight:bold;margin:12px 0px;">WonderPlugin Gallery</p>
		<p class="divdescription" style="font-size:14px;line-height:20px;">WonderPlugin Gallery is a WordPress photo and video gallery plugin, and a great way to showcase your images and videos online. The plugin supports images, YouTube, Vimeo, Dailymotion, mp4 and webm videos. It's fully responsive, works on iPhone, iPad, Android, Firefox, Chrome, Safari, Opera and Internet Explorer 7/8/9/10/11.</p>
	  </div>
	</div>
	<div class="lightboxright">
	  <iframe width="100%" height="100%" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/wswxQ3mhwqQ" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
	</div>
	<div style="clear:both;"></div>
</div></div>

To make the content itself responsive, please also add the following CSS code to your webpage:

<style type="text/css">
.lightboxcontainer {
  width:100%;
  text-align:left;
}
.lightboxleft {
  width: 40%;
  float:left;
}
.lightboxright {
  width: 60%;
  float:left;
}
.lightboxright iframe {
  min-height: 390px;
}
.divtext {
  margin: 36px;
}
@media (max-width: 800px) {
  .lightboxleft {
    width: 100%;
  }
  .lightboxright {
    width: 100%;
  }
  .divtext {
    margin: 12px;
  }
}
</style>

You can then use #DIVID as the href value of the lightbox link.

<a href="#mydiv" class="html5lightbox" data-width=800 data-height=400 title="Inline Div">Open a Div in Lightbox</a>

Quick Installation

1. Download Free Version HTML5 LightBox, Unzip the downloaded file, copy or upload the folder html5lightbox to your web server

2. Reference the filejquery.js and html5lightbox.js which is in the folder html5lightbox before the </head> of your web page. If you already have a jQuery script in your web page, you need to add html5lightbox.js after your jQuery file. The minimum required version of jQuery is 1.6.

<script type="text/javascript" src="html5lightbox/jquery.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="html5lightbox/html5lightbox.js"></script>

If your website already has a jQuery, do not add the jquery.js line, only add the html5lightbox.js AFTER the existing jquery on your webstie:

<script type="text/javascript" src="html5lightbox/html5lightbox.js"></script>

3. Add a class="html5lightbox" attribute to any link tag to activate the Lightbox effect

<a href="images/Toronto_1024.jpg" class="html5lightbox" title="Toronto">Image</a>
<a href="images/carousel.mp4" class="html5lightbox" data-width="480" data-height="320" title="WordPress Carousel">Video</a>

To show a caption, you can use the title attribute, to define the size of a video or Flash SWF file, you can use the data-width and data-height attributes.

If you have a group of images and videos, you can use the attribute data-group to create a gallery. You can use data-thumbnail to add thumbnail navigation to the gallery.

<a href="images/Toronto_1024.jpg" class="html5lightbox" data-group="mygroup" data-thumbnail="images/Toronto_96.jpg" title="Toronto">Image1</a>
<a href="images/Sunrise_1024.jpg" class="html5lightbox" data-group="mygroup" data-thumbnail="images/Sunrise_96.jpg" title="Sunrise">Image2</a>
<a href="images/carousel.mp4" class="html5lightbox" data-group="mygroup"  data-thumbnail="images/wordpresscarousel_120.jpg" data-width="480" data-height="320" title="Wordpress Carousel">Video</a>

Easy Branding

It's easy to add an image branding to HTML5 LightBox, all you need to do is adding the following scripts to the <head> section of your webpage.

<script type="text/javascript">
var html5lightbox_options = { watermark: "http://html5box.com/images/html5boxlogo.png", watermarklink: "http://html5box.com"
};
</script>

If you don't like the link on the watermark image, you can change the code to following:

<script type="text/javascript">
var html5lightbox_options = { watermark: "http://html5box.com/images/html5boxlogo.png", watermarklink: ""
};
</script>
