Lightbox 2 link

RoadKillTs

Hi,

I am setting up a gallery using Lightbox 2 and want to have a link at the bottom of each picture. This can be done handy enough but also I want the link to open up in a seperate tab. I'm trying to figure out how I can use the "_blank" tag using the example below.

Can't figure out how this is done.

Can I insert links in the caption?
Yes, but you need to convert quotes and greater and less than symbols into their html entity equivalents. For example:
<a href="images/image-4.jpg" rel="lightbox" title="<a href="link.html">my link</a>">Image</a>

<a href="images/image-4.jpg" rel="lightbox" [b]target="_blank"[/b].......

Not really a good idea, though, as all of the navigation elements of the original site will be missing. That's the main reason for using something like lightbox in the first place - to avoid opening a new window.

Hi Liam,

Thanks but that doesn't work. When the image "comes out" I have a link at the bottom of the image and when clicked brings the user to a specified site but I just can't figure out how to get it to open the site in a new tab.

Where does the text for that link come from ?

Hi Liam,

It's from the lightbox 2 website in the Support section.

They are saying I need to encode the html here

<a href="images/image-4.jpg" rel="lightbox" title="&lt;a href=&quot;link.html&quot;
[b] target=&quot;_blank&quot;[/b]
&gt;my link&lt;/a&gt;">Image</a>
