There are many free jQuery Lightbox plugins on the Internet. Each plugin can usually display a lightbox for a specific media, for example, photos, flash, video, youtube, MOV, etc… What if your website or blogs require to display more than one medias? The first idea is to install more than one jQuery lightbox plugins.

Today I am going to introduce a powerful jQuery Lightbox plugin – PrettyPhoto. PrettyPhoto is a powerful jQuery Lightbox plugin that can display different types of media:

  • A single picture alone.
  • Photos with manual select.
  • Photos gallery with auto slide show effect.
  • Flash movies.
  • Youtube movies.
  • MOV movies.

The prettyPhoto plugin version I am using is v3.1.2.
