Hi codeman38,
I haven’t tried it but maybe you can just apply the above to #TB_window, i.e. only the ThickBox window; maybe you’ll have to include the overlay as well #TB_overlay.

For anyone else whose paragraph spacing is wrecked by adding Thickbox, the following line in thickbox.css is to blame:

*{padding: 0; margin: 0;}

Removing it will restore everything to normal.

Anyone know how best to make this selector more specific while still preserving the intended effect, for those of us who prefer to leave the default padding on things like paragraphs?

Hi, I’m having similar issues as Kevin above. I am trying to add a video gallery from my YouTube links. The Thumbs show up GREAT but when I click the thumbs, nothing loads. Thanks in advance for your time and consideration!

Hi,

I’ve been using thickbox for a while now on my personal blog and am in the process of converting my professional site from flat HTML to WordPress and am having an issue with sizing the photos.

My “large” images are all 640px wide (not unreasonable these days) but thickbox is showing most of them around 467px.

I admit javascript and jquery are a foreign language so I haven’t poked in there too much but I have checked the CSS and can’t find anything that is restricting the size of the image thickbox will display.

Is there any way for us to change or control the size of the images that thickbox displays?

Thanks in advance,
Anne

I am having an issue using ThickBox with the YouTube Gallery Plug-in. The video thumbnail shows up just fine, but when I click the thumbnail to have the video window pop-up, nothing happens. I have checked my html several times and have found nothing wrong. It worked when I first installed both plug-ins but then just randomly decided to stop working. Please help. Thank You.

Hi Elena, I don't know what exactly you've tried so far but you can add parameters to the URL like you normally would. Just make sure to add them right after the ? and not at the end of the query string. I recommend reading the examples over here which should help you to fix your issue.

Finally a plugin that does what it says it will.

I have been trying for ages to get my images to show properly without having to use larger images just so people can see the details. The expert mode is very helpful and everything is easy to use.

I do have a small border issue but in the grand scheme of things that is nothing a little tweek won’t fix.

Thanks for a great plugin. My advise to anyone is to use thickbox first no others compare to the functionality of this.
