Feedback
* I just tried the application, It is wonderful idea. Like you said in the website "few clicks without writing a single line of code" because most of the people is not web designers".
* I have just bought this product and think it is great. As it is extremely easy to use it is something I could get my clients to purchase to upload their own portfolio and latest projects etc.
* I LOVE your free Lightbox2 software tool and will purchase the business version shortly. I have seen the Lightbox JS effect used with video tutorials and I was hoping you have a version for video that I can purchase.

FAQ
Q:Is it possible to load a gallery from within image? So the gallery loads externally?
A:You should start the gallery onClick: <script type="text/javascript"> #vlightbox a{ #vlightbox a{
1) Add the following function into the <head> tag:
function showLightBox()
{ Lightbox.start(document.getElementById('firstImage'));}
</script>
<img src="thumbnail_gr.jpg" onClick="javascript:showLightBox()" title="Click to see the demo" style="cursor: pointer;">
3) Set the ID for any image in your gallery (id="firstImage"), for example add it to the first image:
<a rel="lightbox_vlb" href="data/images/dscn6831.jpg" title="dscn6831" id="firstImage">
4) Use 'display: none;' property for your gallery in engine\css\vlightbox.css. Just change the following code:
display:-moz-inline-stack;
display:inline-block;
zoom:1;
*display:inline;

vertical-align:top;
margin:3px;
width:160px;
