Click the thumbnail below to open the lightbox. This demo includes the optional .lightbox-header element, which adds a close button.

<div id="demoLightbox" class="lightbox hide fade"  tabindex="-1" role="dialog" aria-hidden="true">
	<div class='lightbox-header'>
		<button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="lightbox" aria-hidden="true">&times;</button>
	</div>
	<div class='lightbox-content'>
		<img src="image.png">
	</div>
</div>

Via data attributes

All you need to do is add data-toggle="lightbox" and href="#lightbox" or data-target="#lightbox" to a link, and set the href so it references the lightbox you want to display.

<a data-toggle="lightbox" href="#demoLightbox">Open Lightbox</a>

Via JavaScript

Open the lightbox with the id myLightbox.

$('#myLightbox').lightbox(options)

Options

Name	Type	Default	Description
backdrop	boolean	true	This adds a modal-backdrop element.
keyboard	boolean	true	Pressing escape closes the lightbox.
show	boolean	true	Shows the lightbox when initialized. Note: This only applies when using JavaScript to setup the lightbox.

You can make use of the Twitter Bootstrap Carousel plugin inside the lightbox!
