Hey guys/gals, I was pointed out to me that my light box trick was not working right in IE. I don’t use IE for the most part, so I don’t see that it was not working. I’m now use a new light box script to give me the same effect. Here is URL for the new script:

http://videobox-lb.sourceforge.net/

I’m not going to redo the videos for the light trick. You can use the same methods as before. Just change out the old lines of code with the new ones. I upload all the files into a folder called “video”. Then replaced the old header code with those lines:

<link rel=”stylesheet” href=”/video/css/videobox.css” type=”text/css” media=”screen” />
<script type=”text/javascript” src=”/video/js/mootools.js”></script>
<script type=”text/javascript” src=”/video/js/swfobject.js”></script>
<script type=”text/javascript” src=”/video/js/videobox.js”></script>

Now I had to go and update all my post on the blog with the new code.  I opened up notepad and copy the old lines from my plot, they looked like this:

<p align=”center”><a href=”http://www.youtube.com/v/rNPjvaPkSyU” class=”lightwindow page-options” params=”lightwindow_width=425,lightwindow_height=340,lightwindow_loading_animation=false” title=”mcbigboy’s SEO Intro” ><img border=”0″ src=”http://mcbigboy.com/images/intro1.jpg” width=”300″ height=”275″></a></p>

Here is the new code:

<p align=”center”><a href=”http://www.youtube.com/v/rNPjvaPkSyU” rel=”vidbox” title=”mcbigboy’s SEO Intro”><img border=”0″ src=”http://mcbigboy.com/images/intro1.jpg” width=”300″ height=”275″></a></p>

All I did was copy the video id in this case “rNPjvaPkSyU”, I’ve made the changes here for you to see. Then I copied the title and changed the image file name.  I replace the old code with those code. I upload all my post on the blog. I’ve tested it with both IE and FF.

Sometimes, when a browser makes changes or updates, some of your scripts may not work as they did before. It’s a good idea to check from time to time to see if they are working.
