First post :).

What can I use thats similar to greybox (www.orangoo.com/labs/GreyBox) to display images nicely? I've seen it being used before but can't remember where. I don't want to have a gallery, just something nice to pop up images with.

I can only find http://www.mehdiplugins.com/misc/frontbox/onlinedemo.htm which is what I want but the way it displays images isnt smooth enough and it doesnt have a close window "x" button like what I'm looking for.

Thanks! It works perfectly. But how can I use this on a hotspot?

say for eg. :

<area shape="rect" coords="397,78,532,106" href="images/myimage.jpg"/> needs rel="lightbox" in it, but adding it at the end doesn't work.

Not to worry, I see hotspots can't be used with lightbox.

You could make a hotspot yourself.

Say, you place the full image in a page and on top of it put a piece of the full image which will be the hotspot. That piece you link to your lightbox and you're done.
