I have been playing with variants of Lightbox and although it is pretty, it
wastes too much page space (and time).
My pages used to look like this
http://www.jimscot.myby.co.uk/Local/LH_020_governors_tree.html, but it
takes a lot of work to keep the next/up/back buttons in a fixed position.
Well it did for me :o?

Using the lightview script I can place the ' command bar' and it never
moves, but I don't want the image and text as a box, I want to use the
whole screen for my image and text.
What I am getting is shown here
http://www.jimscot.myby.co.uk/Newcastle_Quayside/Quayside_000_thumbnails.html,
if you click on a thumbnail.


All I want is the (red) bar (only with prev/up/next and maybe close), but
it must sit still near the bottom of the screen.!

Please point me to a script or a CSS way of achieving this.


When I clicked on a thumbnail at one of your above URLs I got just a
picture. What red bar where? Never mind, read on old chum...

If you want something at the bottom of the screen then there are a
number of ways of doing this with varying side effects. With the page at
the last URL, you could safely put something at the bottom with absolute
positioning.

Do this:

1. Wrap all the markup you have in BODY in

<div style="position: relative"> [all your stuff] </div>

2. Now *inside* above DIV, anywhere at all *outside* TABLE, add this:

<div style="position:absolute; bottom: 0; width: 100%; text-align:
center;">... A few things here...</div>

-----

btw. The text in your captions are way too far vertically from the
thumbnails

Thanks again.
I already have a wrapper #page in my style*** that sets the max width,
margin and font properties. Do I add your first <div> or just add position
relative to mine?
