Script of the week

Oct
04

It’s been a while since I last posted a script of the week, however, as soon as I found this script I knew I had to put it on my site.  Well this week it is a script called LightWindow that claims the prize.  Before you all moan at yet another light-’whatever’ as it is so well put on the LightWindow site please read on as this one is really worth a look.

Now I have seen a lot of LightBox esq effects out there but this one wins the prize. Not for aesthetics as on that front it is just the same as the others, however, if you look at the media types that LightWindow is compatible with you gain an understanding as to why exactly it is that this script is so impressive (In fact LightWindow claims to support every media type). Couple this with superior Browser compatibility and the sheer versatility and flexibility and you have a winning package.

The code is slightly heavy at 63KB and when taking in to account that it also uses Prototype and Script.aculo.us you can gather that it is a big bit of kit, however, the scalability of this code leads me to believe it is totally worth it.

Finally the list of features that LightWindow offers is phenomenal and well worth a browse. Have a look for your self at the LightWindow feature list.

    It looks a little funky around the edges but it does look pretty useful for displaying many types of media. The size is also a big deterrent… When somebody does a mootools version, I’ll get in on the action.

    Yeah I agree. It worked perfectly for me last night, but on showing people today it’s proved a little flaky in places. I’ll have a look at the code today and see how easy it would be to convert to mootools.

    It was a bit rusty in IE7 this morning for me (Opera and Firefox were busy with work related things). It’s good but a tad slow – would be good to see a Mootools or Jquery version.

    Get on it Andy.
