jQuery Colorbox
Caption exceeds space (3 posts)

    Great plugin you have here! I just have a minor issue that needs to be addressed.

    My images have captions, which vary in length. When I use jQuery Colorbox, the image caption overlaps with the image count (e.g. "1 of 12 images").

    Also, I have long captions that occupy two lines in the popup colorbox. How do I make the two-liner caption fit inside the box? See this example to see what I mean.

    Yes, I would also like to know if the author could fix this ?

    Short of hacking the plugin core file....

    Thanks for a great plugin!

    I don't use this particular plugin for WordPress, but I do use it in non-wordpress implementations. Try changing the #cboxTitle line in the css. I have used the following:

    #cboxTitle{position:absolute; bottom:10px; left:25%; text-align:left; width:50%; color:#333333; border: 1px solid #999999; padding: 10px; font-size: .9em; background: #f4f4f4; }

    This will extend the caption above the image, not stretch the bottom of the caption area. Doing that is a little more involved as it is an absolutely positioned div, not nested within the area itself. Let me know how this works for you.
