    First off, I'm completely new to all of this so go slow ok:pac:.

    The story so far....
    I did a mock up of a site in photoshop, sliced 'er up, stuck in a few links and had me a very basic but functional 4 page site (albiet in messy tables & what not). I decided I'd make it as close to the end product as possible before starting again & coding it up properly(almost) so I added a lightbox gallery which worked fine.
    Every thing seemed to be going fine when redoing the site but now I'm stuck at the gallery,basically I cant get lightbox to work properly.

    Problem - When I click the thumbnail the lightbox window opens, it displays the image for around 1 second then the image disappears. The image is shown right in the center of the screen (which is fine) but there is also a white strip the height of the image and full with of the screen which shouldn't be there.

    - Light box wont work on any of the pages in the new site yet it still works fine on the old one.

    - I'm happy enough that the folders are set up correctly as I created a basic html page in the new folder with nothing but the thumbnail image and it worked fine.

    - All of the new pages were created from the same template, so I have a feeling it may be something to do with the CSS styles in them that aren't in the old one.

    - I tried placing the image directly after the opening <body> tag to rule out div's/style constraints, didn't work

    basically I'm stumped:( but I'm a n00b so this will probably be something basic.

    Edit: Nevermind, sorted it;)
