If you are a web developer you are probably extremely familiar with the javascript lightbox, a pop-up box which displays images and html within the confines of an overlay box. Facebook took lightbox usage to a whole new level but they’ve done so with an extremely clean design. If you are obsessed with clean design and want to do so easily, you might want to take a look at Facebox.

The library requires jQuery to use it but that isn’t really a big hurdle to installing it. I’ve included a screenshot of this lightbox below. It’s a simple way to make a facebook-like lightbox so check out Facebox if you are interested!
