Too bad it does not work in Android Froyo's browser.

When I read "fullscreen zoom" I thought it would maybe use fullscreen APIs... so far I haven't found that. Does anyone know a lightbox that does that well (like Facebook photos)?

I'm not against making money on the web, but seriously who would buy a lightbox in 2012?

It's good idea to take money for things that took a lot of effort and have high quality. But with all free open source possibilities in this area, I think you're right that it seems a little overambitious.

Why don't they do this open source and free. Isn't that something can be cloneable by a good JavaScript developer in a single day? I just don't get it.

No arrow key support and er, why would I pay for a lightbox?

Edit: http://projects.nickstakenburg.com/tipped/ on other hand is something I will pay for - looks fantastic.

It's actually quite difficult to find a Lightbox that can be used in production and works across all devices and browsers, supporting more than just images. At least I haven't found one yet, so I will definitely check this out.

An entire day of a good Javascript developers time is worth less than $75 to you?

Good: Escape key works to exit.

Missing: Doesn't respond to space / pgdown / left-right arrows.

Missing: Can't drag the image with mouse to flip to next image.

General page design issue: Page has style disabling outline on all anchors, making keyboard navigation (tab / shift tab) navigation downright impossible. Please make sure I can use tab / shift tab to browse the site.

General page design issue: Disabling the style rule 'outline-style:none' does make site usable with keyboard. But only somewhat, because you still can't tab onto the demonstrations.

Anyone else still confused by the word "responsive"? I always expect something with a high degree of interaction, widgets etc., instead of just meaning "resizes how HTML should resize".

This script looks terrible on mobile browsers. 50 Euros for this?
