Hi there - me again.

I am working on a photography site for my husband and I am having a HECK of a time with lightbox. Weird, because i have been able to install and code a number of things on my php website, and what LOOKS like it should be simple, is NOT.

Anyways, I uploaded lightbox 2, unzipped, added all the files in the js file, put the header code in, and added the rel=lightbox into the image link and NOTHING. I can not get it to work!! The weirdest thing is that now, i can not preview my site in design mode on dreamweaver, but it all pulls up correctly on a web preview?

WHY IS THIS HAPPENING??

BTW, here is my header code:

<html>



<script type="text/javascript" src="js/prototype.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/scriptaculous.js?load=effects,builder"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/lightbox.js"></script>
<!--
//function openPictureWindow_Fever(imageType,imageName,imageWidth,imageHeight,alt,posLeft,posTop) { // v4.01
// newWindow = window.open("","newWindow","width="+imageWidth+",height="+imageHeight+",scrollbars=no,left="+posLeft+",top="+posTop);
// newWindow.document.open();
// newWindow.document.write('<html><title>'+alt+'</title><body bgcolor="#FFFFFF" leftmargin="0" topmargin="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" onBlur="self.close()">');
// if (imageType == "swf"){
// newWindow.document.write('<object classid=\"clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=5,0,0,0\" width=\"'+imageWidth+'\" height=\"'+imageHeight+'\">');
// newWindow.document.write('<param name=movie value=\"'+imageName+'\"><param name=quality value=high>');
// newWindow.document.write('<embed src=\"'+imageName+'\" quality=high pluginspage=\"http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash\" type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"'+imageWidth+'\" height=\"'+imageHeight+'\">');
// newWindow.document.write('</embed></object>'); }else{
// newWindow.document.write('<img src=\"'+imageName+'\" width='+imageWidth+' height='+imageHeight+' alt=\"'+alt+'\">'); }
// newWindow.document.write('</body></html>');
// newWindow.document.close();
// newWindow.focus();
//}
//-->

ok, well i got the site to show again in design mode. I just uploaded a backup copy, so i guess this isnt a dreamweaver issue anymore. HOPEFULLY i can figure out this lightbox issue
