Hi everyone,

This has got me stumped. I have a page that uses a lightbox script to show some pics.

Whenever I try to click on one of the pics to bring up the large pic in a lightbox, I get a lot of space added to the bottom on the page. You can see what I mean at
I don't believe that it is related to the lightbox script since I have seen it used on other pages without the effect that I am getting -- but of course I could be wrong about that. I think that it is related to my CSS, although at this point I am not ruling anything out completely. I know that my CSS is really messed up right now, in fact I will probably be taking the time to clean it up some here very shortly. Anyway, I will place my CSS and HTML to see if anyone can spot anything that I missed......

Thanks for looking!
Jim

Perhaps validating your CSS file would help?

You are using HTML-style comments which are illegal, and are thus causing browsers to ignore everything following them, including the lytebox styles.

Hope this helps,

Dan is completely correct. The affected line is this one:
Code: 
#lbOverlay { position: fixed; ...
On your page, this line is not detected and thus lbOverlay loads at the bottom of your page, rather than absolutely (or fixed) positioned on top.

Thanks Gentlemen,

For some reason I always forget about validating....

Thanks again, both of you have a star for that one!
