Goals of ColorBox
1: Easy customization of appearance and behavior.
- This application is easy to customize to fit the theme of user's websites without having to modify the core ColorBox CSS or JavaScript!
- The visual appearance of ColorBox is completely controlled through CSS.
- The behavior settings of ColorBox can be over-writen with user preferences without having to alter the ColorBox javascript file.
This allows for easy upgrades and minimizes the amount of code that has to be altered between projects.
2: Be built with standards and accessibility in mind.
- Completely unobtrusive - requires no manipulation of existing HTML.
- Graceful Degradation - all content displayed with ColorBox can be accessed without JavaScript.
- Generates W3C valid XHTML/CSS, with one exception - the example custom styles use propriatary CSS filters for transparent-png support in IE.
- ColorBox is writen in jQuery plugin format, making colorbox() chainable with other jQuery commands. ColorBox adds no other funcions or variables to the global scope.
