I followed the instructions for adding colorbox to a website im making on visual site designer step by step and have triple checked everything. I just cant get it to work does anyone know how to make this work or have step by step instructions that are newer than 2009? It looks like things have changed since then anything will help.

Thanks,
Chance

I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

i seem to be having the same issue i was before. I added my image file into the root folder and copied the code into the html box after following the instructions and my image shows but it just goes to a webpage instead of showing it in the actual colorbox. Do you know what i may have done wrong?

No need to publish as it should work locally, but it would make it easier to help.
Did you add a folder to VSD and call it colorbox?

The </script> tag is missing at the end of the
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.4/jquery.min.js">
Should be this.
