Lightbox: half of the image is whited out

explorers5000 · August 12, 2011, 4:32am

HI,

i know exactly what the problem is… i have already troubleshot it. now i would kindly ask for a solution if possible…

this is my gallery page:
Academic Education | Gallery

this page already had the layout.css and then i decided to use lightbox2 for the gallery. lightbox has its own .css which is called lightbox.css.

now once i integrate lightbox into the page this is what happens:

Uploaded with ImageShack.us

photographs popup, you can navigate next and previous but then half of the picture has this white block. other than that it works fine but that’s something i guess i have to get rid of.

if i don’t include the layout.css then i works fine but then i lose the main style. they are conflicting. i had this problem before with a popup contact window which we solved thanks to the forum.

now any ideas?

lightbox.css:

#lightbox{	position: absolute;	left: 0; width: 100%; z-index: 100; text-align: center; line-height: 0;}
#lightbox img{ width: auto; height: auto;}
#lightbox a img{ border: none; }

#outerImageContainer{ position: relative; background-color: #fff; width: 250px; height: 250px; margin: 0 auto; }
#imageContainer{ padding: 10px; }

#loading{ position: absolute; top: 40%; left: 0%; height: 25%; width: 100%; text-align: center; line-height: 0; }
#hoverNav{ position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; height: 100%; width: 100%; z-index: 10; }
#imageContainer>#hoverNav{ left: 0;}
#hoverNav a{ outline: none;}

#prevLink, #nextLink{ width: 49%; height: 100%; background-image: url(data:image/gif;base64,AAAA); /* Trick IE into showing hover */ display: block; }
#prevLink { left: 0; float: left;}
#nextLink { right: 0; float: right;}
#prevLink:hover, #prevLink:visited:hover { background: url(../images/prevlabel.gif) left 15% no-repeat; }
#nextLink:hover, #nextLink:visited:hover { background: url(../images/nextlabel.gif) right 15% no-repeat; }

#imageDataContainer{ font: 10px Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; background-color: #fff; margin: 0 auto; line-height: 1.4em; overflow: auto; width: 100%	; }

#imageData{	padding:0 10px; color: #666; }
#imageData #imageDetails{ width: 70%; float: left; text-align: left; }	
#imageData #caption{ font-weight: bold;	}
#imageData #numberDisplay{ display: block; clear: left; padding-bottom: 1.0em;	}			
#imageData #bottomNavClose{ width: 66px; float: right;  padding-bottom: 0.7em; outline: none;}	 	

#overlay{ position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; z-index: 90; width: 100%; height: 500px; background-color: #000; }

You could add this to your style sheet (lightbox.css, line 11):

#hoverNav a {
  outline: medium none;
  [COLOR="Red"]background: transparent;[/COLOR]
}

You need to do this to override this rule in layout.css, line 40:

a {
  [COLOR="Red"]background-color: white;[/COLOR]
  color: #55ABDA;
  text-decoration: none;
}

earlier i was told to change the following

#hoverNav a{ outline: none;}

to

#hoverNav a{ outline: none; background-color: transparent;}

and now it is working fine. thank you for the support.

Great! Glad that worked, and thanks for the feedback, explorers5000. Hope to see you around again soon.
