Part 1 – Setup
Flashbox uses Javascript files, don’t forget them to include in your header.
Include the Flashbox CSS file (or append your active stylesheet with the Flashbox styles).
Part 2 – Activate
Add a rel="flashbox"
attribute to any link tag to activate the flashbox. For example:
image #1
Optional: Use the title
attribute if you want to show a caption.
If you have a set of related images that you would like to group, follow step one but additionally include a group name between square brackets in the rel attribute. For example:
image #1
image #2
image #3
And because it also works with lightbox:
image #1
image #2
image #3
No limits to the number of image sets per page or how many images are allowed in each set. Go nuts!

One reply on “FlashBox – Usage instructions”
Hi, sorry but my English is not very good.
I am new to HTML and I have no idea of programming in java or flash. I managed to make it work in dreamweaver but I would remove the option to “send to a friend” so I would not catch my images. Could you tell me how? Thanks.
