My first lightbox project is at http://mauitradewinds.com/lightbox/test.htm  and it isn't working.  Can you correct my error(s)?

Thank you, that got it working.
May I ask for a little refinement?  In iPad, if I tap the thumbnail in portrait orientation, the larger image is around 25% beyond the viewport to the right.  In landscape view, it looks fine.  I'd like to avoid that overflow in portrait view.

On my desktop, the larger image is around 15% below the screen, and the close button is not visible without scrolling.  Can you suggest a fix for that?

I increased the points on this question because of the additional specifications I am requesting, if you're willing.

I don't really have an inclination to dig into the lightbox source to try and get it to work for a particular iPad orientation or for a particular media screen size.  I suggest trying out one of the many other lightboxes out there if you're not happy with the results that you're getting from this one.  Here's a list of a few:

I've heard good things about colorbox and have used shadowbox in the past and liked it.

You could also try contacting the author or posting another question here.  If points are an issue, feel free to go ahead and delete this question.  I'm here to kill time, procrastinate on my real work and help out a bit when I can.  I have plenty of answered questions.  One less is certainly not going to upset my day.  :-)

Best of luck to you.  Give shadowbox a try -- http://www.shadowbox-js.com/
