Ok...so if I buy the paid version, will I be able to have links on the actual thumbnails (or below them) instead of just when the enlargement is brought up?

Coffee Cup hasn't come up with some way to do this yet with their software, have they? It would be so much easier!

Here is a page in progress:

See how there are descriptions under each thumbnail? Is there a way to turn those descriptions into links that would then take someone to another page?

What I ended up doing Kristi was making a table in html editor, see example:

I don't think you need to purchase the program......sorry I was mistaken. only if you want the links in the captions I believe.
Anyway look at the source code on this page, copy if you like, if you need of a more how to let me know. Do you have html editor? if not download the trail version, it would be easier ...

btw Kristi, you only need to paste this code in the header 1 time:
<!-- Start VisualLightBox.com HEAD section -->

<link rel="stylesheet" href="engine/css/vlightbox1.css" type="text/css" />

<link rel="stylesheet" href="engine/css/visuallightbox.css" type="text/css" media="screen" />
<script src="engine/js/jquery.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

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

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

<!-- End VisualLightBox.com HEAD section -->

on the page lightbox is on, I see 3 or 4 instances

I am having a hard time with Visual Lightbox, I have been able to create the files necessary for the project. I have added the header and the body html using the HTML editor on VSD. My issue is when I preview it, it only has boxes with x's in it. I am also using the password wizard to view view this page for only authorized viewers. When I upload my site, everthing looks great except for this proofing page that now has a 404 error code. I had originally thought that since I was using VSD I wasn't able to see the lightbox because I didn't upload it. So now I upload and I get a 404 page not found.


HELP!!!


Thanks,
Tina

Did you try turning off the page protection to see if that fixed the problem?
I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

How does the page look in the VSD preview?
Can you share a link to the page?

Tina - did you also add the image files? Go to Edit > Add Files.
