Extended information for this plugin has been moved to http://sivel.net/wordpress/shadowbox-js/. This post has been kept for legacy purposes and has been updated to reflect an original release notice.

The Shadowbox JS WordPress plugin has been released.

Shadowbox is an online media viewing application that supports all of the web's most popular media publishing formats. Shadowbox is written entirely in JavaScript and CSS and is highly customizable. Using Shadowbox, website authors can display a wide assortment of media in all major browsers without navigating users away from the linking page.

This plugin uses Shadowbox written by Michael J. I. Jackson.

Javascript libraries supported are: None, YUI, Prototype, jQuery, Ext, Dojo and MooTools. Ext is included with the plugin, Prototype and jQuery are used from the Javascript libraries included with Wordpress, YUI is loaded from Yahoo APIs, Dojo and Mootools are loaded from Google APIs.

This plugin can also be used as a drop in lightbox replacement, without requiring you to edit posts already using lightbox.

By default this plugin will use Shadowbox for all image links, movie links, audio links and YouTube/Google Video links including those generated by the [gallery] shortcode.
