Sets
the speed of the fade and elastic transitions, in milliseconds. |
| href |
false |
This
can be used as an alternative anchor URL or to associate a URL for
non-anchor elements such as images or form buttons. $("h1").colorbox({href:"welcome.html"}); |
| title |
false |

This

The value can also be set to 'nofollow' to disable grouping. |
| scalePhotos |
true |
If
true, and if maxWidth, maxHeight, innerWidth, innerHeight, width, or
height have been defined, Colorbox will scale photos to fit within the
those values. |
| scrolling |
true |
If
false, Colorbox will hide scrollbars for overflowing content. This
could be used on conjunction with the resize method (see below) for a
smoother transition if you are appending content to an already open
instance of Colorbox. |
| opacity |
0.85 |
The
overlay opacity level. Range: 0 to 1. |
| open |

true, focus will be returned when Colorbox exits to the element it was
launched from. |
| trapFocus |
true |
If
true, keyboard focus will be limited to Colorbox's navigation and
content. |
| fastIframe |
true |
If
false, the loading graphic removal and onComplete event will be delayed
until iframe's content has completely loaded. |
| preloading |
true |
Allows
for preloading of 'Next' and 'Previous' content in a group, after the
current content has finished loading. Set to false to disable. |
| overlayClose |
true |
If
false, disables closing Colorbox by clicking on the background overlay. |
| escKey |
true |
If
false, will disable closing colorbox on 'esc' key press. |

If
false, will disable the left and right arrow keys from navigating
between the items in a group. |
| loop |
true |
If
false, will disable the ability to loop back to the beginning of the
group when on the last element. |
| data |
false |
For
submitting GET or POST values through an ajax request. The data
property will act exactly like jQuery's .load() data
argument, as Colorbox uses .load() for ajax handling. |

Adds
a given class to colorbox and the overlay. |
| fadeOut |
300 |
Sets
the fadeOut speed, in milliseconds, when closing Colorbox. |
| closeButton |

Set
to false to remove the close button. |
| Internationalization |

content failed to load." |
Error
message given when ajax content for a given URL cannot be loaded. |
| imgError |
"This
image failed to load." |
Error
message given when a link to an image fails to load. |
| Content
Type |
|
|
| iframe |
false |
If
true, specifies that content should be displayed in an iFrame. |
| inline |
false |
If
true, content from the current document can be displayed by passing the
href property a jQuery selector, or jQuery object.
// Using a selector: $("#inline").colorbox({inline:true, href:"#myForm"});
// Using a jQuery object: var $form = $("#myForm"); $("#inline").colorbox({inline:true, href:$form});
|
| html |
false |
For
displaying a string of HTML or text: $.colorbox({html:"<p>Hello</p>"}); |
| photo |
false |
If
true, this setting forces Colorbox to display a link as a photo. Use
this when automatic photo detection fails (such as using a url like
'photo.php' instead of 'photo.jpg') |
| ajax |
|
This
property isn't actually used as Colorbox assumes all hrefs should be
treated as either ajax or photos, unless one of the other content types
were specified. |

Colorbox if the window's resize event is fired. |
| Retina
Images |
|
|
| retinaImage |
false |
If
true, Colorbox will scale down the current photo to match the screen's

| retinaUrl |

"@2x.$1" |

retinaUrl is true and the device has a high resolution display, the
href value will have it's extention extended with this suffix. For

`my-photo@2x.jpg` |
