  I use one called cycle
  http://malsup.com/jquery/cycle/
  written by Mike Alsup, one of the reviewers for the "Learning jQuery" book.
  It's a slideshow plugin.

  Nice. Shame the flash ad for Fusion Reactor sits 'above' the lightbox. I wonder how easy that would be to fix?

  Ben Forta is looking old too.

  What browser, Will? It's working fine for me in FF3/OSX.

• Comment 5 written by Will Swain on 17 December 2008, at 4:45 PM

  

  XP Pro and FF 3.0.4 with Flash Player 10
  
  Same in IE7 for me too.

  Ray - Will's issue might be as simple as the lack of the wmode=transparent in the embed tag and in the corresponding ActiveContent JS. FF and the Mac seem to not have this issue while Win/FF/IE does.

  FWIW, I note the same issue as Will in FF 3.0.4 on Ubuntu...

  Just like Craig said - setting wmode="transparent" or "opaque" will solve the issue with protruding flash movie. I just did it in firebug and it works.

  There is something unnatural about kids getting their picture with Santa while wearing shorts.

  Guys, is it better now?

• Comment 11 written by Ezra Parker on 17 December 2008, at 11:47 PM

  

  Yep, that looks to have fixed the problem on Win/FF. Interestingly, it did not make any difference on the Linux side. I have encountered this issue from time to time (not very often, as I use the NoScript extension to block Flash by default and only enable it on a case-by-case basis), but I always just assumed that the site in question didn't have the wmode attribute set.
  
  Upon investigating further, it turns out that this was a known issue with Flash Player 9 for Linux, and an upgrade to FP 10 corrected it -- obviously I should have done this a while ago...

  I think, at the end of the day, the true problem here is that you are using a free OS and not truly contributing to the American economy. Once you stop being a communist and actually buy a real OS, this will all go away.
  
  (Ahem, thanks for the tests Ezra. :)

  That Santa does *NOT* look happy. LOL

  I actually use a similar plug-in on my blog and just load it in the main template. What I like about this, is all I need to do is add the appropriate class to my image tags and links to the full pictures automatically open up inline.
  
  See this for an example:
  http://blog.pengoworks.com/index.cfm/2008/12/10/My...
  
  My point is, you can easily add this code to your layout.cfm, that way you can take advantage of the code on any blog entry.

  Heh well it took about 4 pics to get everything coordinated.

• Comment 16 written by Raymond Camden on 18 December 2008, at 8:14 AM

  

  @DS: Yeah, I thought about that. For right now I'm just testing. I'm considering bundling it with BlogCFC 5.x though and using it for slideshows. BlogCFC has long supported slide shows, but they are simple one page at a time type things.

  Another cool jQuery lightbox plug-in:

• Comment 18 written by Raymond Camden on 18 December 2008, at 8:34 AM

  

  I quickly modded slideshow.cfm to support thickbox. You can view an example here:

  If any BlogCFC users want this early, let me know. It does automatic thumbnail creation.

  Some people really didn't like Santa back then, did they?
  Ah, good times.

• Comment 20 written by Ryan on 18 December 2008, at 11:48 AM

  

  Just another note found as I have been working with Lightbox, and Thickbox both. If the wmode=transparent fix doesn't work. Try toggling the loop option for the flash animation. I have found that if I turn off the looping, the flash movie will not display above the Lightbox anymore.

  So, what is WRONG with Santa? He looks like a grumpy old man! Your kids are GREAT!

• Comment 22 written by Matt Gifford on 22 December 2008, at 4:06 AM

  

  Love the smile on those kids faces, and Santa looks *whispers* real *end of whisper*
  
  I had written a jquery plugin combining a gallery slideshow and the lightbox functionality, which you can check out and download here if you want to play around with it.
