I have built, with the massive help of a friend, a website to showcase  
my wife’s jewelry. I would like to add the redbox for when people  
click on a full size image. I like that over a new windows, or  
changing the current window.  
Anyhow, I am still a novice, if I can call myself that. What is newer  
that novice, noob I guess.  
I am reading Craig Ambros’ site, and it tells how to use it, but I am  
not sure what it being referred to sometimes. I ran the installation.  
For setup, it says to include the javascript and css files into your  
layout. You’ll also need to include the default rails javascript  
files.  
My question is where do these need to be. It has a line that looks  
like it can be copied and pasted, but where? What file(s)?  
I should add that I am new to any major programming. I did do a lot of  
C programming on a MUD years and years ago. Please, be gentle with my  
newbish questions. I know you would hate to see a grown man cry.

Ok, I am an idiot, and deserve to made to cry. I did find where to  
include the information. As with many things so far, I stopped working  
on it, moved to something else entirely (working on PC hardware) and  
it came to me. Now I just need to get the link\_to\_redbox to function.  
I will have a look at that later.
