    Hi,
    Is it possible to have the image description text show once the user has the main lightbox/expanded image showing, but not visible with the image in the page? – the caption is good enough here.

    thanks

    Hi,
    Thanks for the reply. If it’s of help, some of the UK newspapers online use the facility a lot and insert a significant amount of description text to narrate and hold together a series of images in a meta narrative to the main text. This text is not visible when the image is set into the main page – just the title, if that. The Telegraph uses it for some articles, as does the Guardian. Quite often for special articles, and the Telegraph has now started to lead its online presence with picture dominated/slide show led articles.
    I’m sure the resold the world has cottoned on too a while ago, but I’ve not really looked in detail!!

    I look forward to any developments
    Simon
