Using lightboxes
Lightboxes are a simple way of displaying pop-up larger sized versions of
pictures from thumbnails you add to your web page. If you've used the Photo
Gallery feature you'll have come across this concept before. A great advantage
of lightboxes is that bigger pictures can be displayed on demand and are
superimposed over your web page after a gliding animation.
WebPlus also offers a simple slideshow feature (p. 104) to showcase images
present on the same web page.
To create a lightbox for a picture on your web page:
1. Select the picture (preferably a thumbnail).
2. Create a hyperlink to it (click Hyperlink... from the Insert menu or
right-click; see p. 85).
3. Select Picture from the menu, choosing a Target Window from the
Type drop-down list of Lightbox.
4. (Optional) Click Lightbox Options... to add a caption to the picture in
the lightbox using the Caption box. You can also make the picture
part of a slideshow using the Slideshow drop-down list. (See Lightbox
slideshows on p. 104.)
5. Click OK.
