Lightbox2 - fadjusting my photo sizes

HTML & CSS
1

Hi,

i am using Lighbox2 for my image gallery, the issue i am having is that when i click on the image, it displays the full size of the image, some of which are as big as my screen. Is there a way to explicitely tell the css to create the lightbox to something like 150px wide and 150height for example and ecompass this size without having to modify the image?

Hope that is clear.

It’s not such a major issue as the images i have are for testing purproses BUT i just wanted to ask if there was a way.


#lightbox{	position: absolute;	left: 0; width: 100%; z-index: 100; text-align: center; line-height: 0;}
#lightbox img{ width: auto; height: auto;}
#lightbox a img{ border: none; }

#outerImageContainer{ position: relative; background-color: #fff; width: 250px; height: 250px; margin: 0 auto; }
#imageContainer{ padding: 10px; }

#loading{ position: absolute; top: 40%; left: 0%; height: 25%; width: 100%; text-align: center; line-height: 0; }
#hoverNav{ position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; height: 100%; width: 100%; z-index: 10; }
#imageContainer>#hoverNav{ left: 0;}
#hoverNav a{ outline: none;}

#prevLink, #nextLink{ width: 49%; height: 100%; background-image: url(data:image/gif;base64,AAAA); /* Trick IE into showing hover */ display: block; }
#prevLink { left: 0; float: left;}
#nextLink { right: 0; float: right;}
#prevLink:hover, #prevLink:visited:hover { background: url(../images/prevlabel.gif) left 15% no-repeat; }
#nextLink:hover, #nextLink:visited:hover { background: url(../images/nextlabel.gif) right 15% no-repeat; }

#imageDataContainer{ font: 10px Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; background-color: #fff; margin: 0 auto; line-height: 1.4em; overflow: auto; width: 100%	; }

#imageData{	padding:0 10px; color: #666; }
#imageData #imageDetails{ width: 70%; float: left; text-align: left; }	
#imageData #caption{ font-weight: bold;	  }
#imageData #numberDisplay{ display: block; clear: left; padding-bottom: 1.0em;	}			
#imageData #bottomNavClose{ width: 66px; float: right;  padding-bottom: 0.7em; outline: none;}	 	

#overlay{ position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; z-index: 90; width: 100%; height: 500px; background-color: #000; }

You should be able to change it in the css coming with lightbox but I strongly advise you to modify the images them self. It is never good to that in either your css or html. If you’re uploading the images using one of the server side scripting language, you could implement it there, otherwise you need to use a photo editing program.
