Everyone likes to see content in a lightbox these days. So this is a pretty extensive dive into the lightbox scripts available out there. FYI - a select few have been left out because they are based on existing scripts with no real difference or were flash-based. And believe it or not, I haven't even dug into the lightbox addons from RW developers - Would this be something you would like to see?
Let me know if this kind of general info is helpful, as research and fact gathering is well, time consuming to say the least ;)
