I haven't actually published it yet. Is there a way to publish it without adding it to my website?

I reestablished one of the links so that I can publish it. Will add link once it's up. Thank you!

okay, hit another road block. Even though it was working in preview, the image can't be found once published. Here is the link, not sure if you can make anything of it.

You need to add these files to your site.

http://www.cherubnest.com/colorbox/colorbox.css
http://www.cherubnest.com/colorbox/jquery.colorbox.js

Then make sure you add the image to your site also.

Dbl check that your adding them to the folder specified in the link.

Hi Eric,
I believe they're in the correct folder. Not sure how to double check but here is the screen shot.

I'm going to delete them, re-download and upload them again. Maybe I screwed something up.

Okay, I removed all files from the root, re-downloaded them and added them again. Now the thumbnail is showing but once again the image being opened is a separate page, not in the colorbox format. I am beyond frustrated with this thing. The last time this happened, the code was missing from the header but now it's there and still not working. It's working in the preview but with the messed up border.
Perhaps I should try lightbox again and see if I can figure it out this time. Thanks again.

Your colorbox folder is named Colorbox. Needs to colorbox.;)
Or change the link reference in your code at the head of the html box to be an upper case C.

<link rel="stylesheet" href="Colorbox/colorbox.css" />
<script src="Colorbox/jquery.colorbox.js"></script>

You also have two entries of these links. Remove one set.

Thank you, Eric. I've fixed the upper case colorbox and images but it's still not working. I've removed the colorbox folder in the root folder and reloaded it. Still not working though.
I've removed the extra code and still not working. I'm going to try another jquery program and see if I have better luck.

KB maybe this will help. I've started a new site: http://gunsmoke.me/h/coffee

Using VSD and Lightbox. Check it out and let me know if you need any more help.

Basically it works just like colorbox. Once you create your Lightbox files, you have to add the code to the head and body of the VSD site using an HTML box. Then you must use the Edit/Add Files option to add the folders and files to the web site. If this is done correctly you should be able to 'preview' your site before publishing. Don't give up if it doesn't work. Keep asking questions and we'll help you get it right :cool:
