I have a live site, that I would like to use lightbox2 and image caption on at the same time, on the same image. I would like to have the caption displayed under the picture giving a description, and telling the user they can click on the picture (and thus triggering lightbox2). Something is not working...and I am not sure what or why...
An example of what I am trying to do can be found at :
http://www.marylandsar.org/node/33
Here is an example of the html for the picture....
<a rel="lightbox[][Maryland SAR Presents a Check to the Maryland Archives]" href="/SAR-Images/GW_Archives.JPG"><img width="300" vspace="15" hspace="15" height="225" border="0" align="right" title="MDSSAR Presents Check to The Maryland State Archives. Click to enlarge" alt="Check presentation To Maryland Archives" src="/SAR-Images/GW_Archives.JPG" class="caption" /></a>
I think that part of the issue might be from the fact that the caption has become part of the "Link" used in lightbox but I am not sure.
Here is the "caption" portion of my themes css:
.caption{
background-color: #EFEFEF;
padding: 5px;
font-size: 0.5em;
text-align: center;
}
Any help would be great.

I'm confused as to what the problem is. On the url you provided, I can see a photograph and a caption underneath. When I click on the photograph or the caption the image appears in the lightbox. Is this not what you want?

Stella,
The CSS values are not being applied to the caption area. The caption should be appearing in a grey box, in black text, in a smaller font size.
I do not want the caption to be the link, but the picture.
Also the caption should be appearing directly underneath the picture, and not offset like it is.... Like I mentioned I think this is because I have the "Class=caption" included as part of the link....but I am not sure how to do it without making it part of the link...
does that help explain?
Should I cross post this in the image_caption area?

Lightbox2 doesn't modify the class name or anything else on the image or link since this image isn't an automatically handled image - i.e. you've added the
rel="lightbox....."bit to the link manually. All lightbox2 does in such cases is to add a click event to the anchor. I don't think this is an issue for lightbox2.Moving to image caption queue.
itowler: please verify that the image caption version i've selected is correct.
Image caption maintainer: if you need more information from me, please let me know.
Cheers,
Stella

Stella,
thanks for the help...
you are right, I added the Rel=lightbox manually....
The version for the Image caption is actually 6.x-2.x I have updated it.
thanks.
