How to install
Step One - Download ChillBox
Downlaod chillbox.js and place it in your javascript directory in this example we are using a directory called 'js'.
Step Two - Download JQuery
ChillBox is a JQuery Plugin, therefore you will require Jquery for it to work. Simply download the latest version from the JQuery Website and save it to the 'js' directory.
Step Three - Add PlugIn & Framework to the head section
Now add the Jquery Framework and chillbox-packed.js to the head section of your web page. Now we should have something like below in our head section:
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery-1.4.2.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/chillbox-packed.js"></script>
</head>
Step Four - Add ChillBox to Links
Now we can now add ChillBox to our html code. To do this create a anchor link attribute. Then we we are going to add a rel="ChillBox" as we want the Chilltip to be applied to this link. Then add the title="YOUR CONTENT" attribute to give a description of what the image and then write the path to your image in the href="images/example.jpg".
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery-1.4.2.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/chillbox-packed.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<a href="images/all/great-yarmouth.jpg" rel="ChillBox" title="Great Yarmouth Sea Front">Show Image.</a>
</body>
Result: Show Image.
