Close lightbox when background overlay is clicked

I would consider this a bug. Here's a patch to the uncompressed javascript that fixes the problem. Now clicking anywhere on the background closes the lightbox window. This would have to get recompressed into jlightbox.js to work.

Any word on getting this committed?

I need some positive confirmations for IE6, IE7, Chrome, Safari, and Firefox first.

I tested the uncompressed JavaScript, works for me in the following browsers:

Windows XP

• Firefox 3.0.6
• Opera 9.64
• Chrome 1.0.154.48
• Safari 3.2.2
• IE 7.0.573.11
• IE 6

Mac OSX

• Firefox 3.0.7
• Safari 3.2.1

Committed to all branches.

I was trying to close lightbox, when we click on background overlay(Grey background).
But #lightbox content was overlapped #lightbox2-overlay.
So not able to write click event for #lightbox2-overlay.

Note:
I dont want to use "Click on overlay or lightbox to close it" option available in backend.
Because we want click event only for overlay.

Finally achieved using jQuery event.target.id

 $('#lightbox2-overlay, #lightbox').click(function(e) {
      e.preventDefault();
      var target_id = e.target.id;
      if (target_id == 'lightbox2-overlay' || target_id == 'lightbox') {
        Lightbox.end(); return false;
      }
    });

use above code in your custom JS.
