Hi folks,
I’ve written a little plugin to use for displaying a block of html over
a page while fading out the background. This is like the lightbox.js
library, and all it’s related offshoots (thickbox, greybox, etc.). My
plugin, Redbox, is not really any better than these others (in fact,
it’s less mature, and less tested), but it builds on prototype and
scriptaculous, is available as a rails plugin, provides easy to use
helpers, and unlike the other libraries, works very well with rails’
ajax functionality.
If anyone might find this usefull, installation instructions, a demo,
and a much more detailed description is available at:
