jQuery Lightbox2 not working


I don't know why LightBox is not working. When I click on the image, it goes to the link of the page, rather than have the "lightbox" fade-in to show the image. I console.logged and I get no error messages.

Solution

  • Load the lightbox javascript file at the end of your body tag. Worked for me. apparently lightbox need the DOM ready to parse the images/links.
