<span class="byline">Replicating and improving the lightbox module seen on Medium with fluid transitions</span>
</header>
<p>Opening images seamlessly in a lightbox on your page without interruption. This demo was inspired by how Medium handles embedded images. Made by <a rel="author" href="http://terrymun.com" title="Visit me">Terry</a>. You can <a href="https://medium.com/coding-design/9c7fe9db92c7">read the tutorial on Medium</a>.</p>
<div class="message"><h2>Note: iOS Safari users</h2><p>Due to issues with iOS safari not reporting the correct values for <code>$(window).height()</code> and <code>$(window).scrollTop()</code> due to the browser's insistence of rendering an iframe full height of its content, this demo will not work correctly on a mobile browser because it is nested within an iframe. You can <a href="http://s.codepen.io/terrymun/fullpage/JKHwp">view the working demo here</a>, if you are on mobile.</p></div>
<p>The dependencies of this demo:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://jquery.com/">jQuery</a></li>
<li><a href="https://github.com/desandro/imagesloaded">imagesloaded plugin</a></li>
</ul>
<p>Some notes on usage:</p>
<ul>
<li>Fluidbox will only work with images whose actual dimensions are larger than the displayed dimension.</li>
<li>The aspect ratio of the displayed and linked image has to be identical.</li>
</ul>
<hr />
<h2>Basic usage</h2>
<p>Fluidbox works out of the box as long as you append <code>data-fluidbox</code> to the anchor element, <code>&lt;a&gt;</code>.</p>
<p>In other words, it should look like this: <code>&lt;a href="..." title="..." data-fluidbox&gt;...&lt;/a&gt;</code></p>
<a href="http://i.imgur.com/9OQWB.jpg" title="" data-fluidbox><img src="http://i.imgur.com/9OQWB.jpg" title="" alt="" /></a>
<hr />
<h2>Linking to a higher resolution alternative</h2>
<p>Sometimes it is not feasible to use the actual image itself on the page, due to concerns with excessive bandwidth usage that burdens your server, or encumbers users that are using mobile.</p>
<a href="http://placehold.it/1500x1500" title="" data-fluidbox><img src="http://placehold.it/200x200" title="" alt="" /></a>
<p>In this case, you can see that we have used a low resolution thumbnail, which is linked to a higher resolution image (note: both images must be of the same aspect ratio). The script will inevitably make a royal mess of itself if you are using different aspect ratios, but it will not break the page. The aspect ratio will remain the same as that of the thumbnail.</p>
<a href="http://placehold.it/1500x900" title="" data-fluidbox><img src="http://placehold.it/200x200" title="" alt="" /></a>
<hr />
<h2>Versatility</h2>
<p>Fluid box works even when images are arranged in galleries. In this case, they are arranged with the help of flexbox.</p>
<div class="gallery">
<a href="http://i.imgur.com/uh5YLj5.jpg" title="" data-fluidbox class="col-2"><img src="http://i.imgur.com/uh5YLj5.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a>
<a href="http://i.imgur.com/UvGHJjo.jpg" title="" data-fluidbox class="col-2"><img src="http://i.imgur.com/UvGHJjo.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a>
<a href="http://i.imgur.com/esWWGbF.jpg" title="" data-fluidbox class="col-3"><img src="http://i.imgur.com/esWWGbF.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a>
<a href="http://i.imgur.com/ZCogT10.jpg" title="" data-fluidbox class="col-3"><img src="http://i.imgur.com/ZCogT10.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a>
<a href="http://i.imgur.com/24hrPQn.jpg" title="" data-fluidbox class="col-3"><img src="http://i.imgur.com/24hrPQn.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a>
</div>
<p>It also intelligently resizes images such that portrait images will fit perfectly within the viewport, although that means scaling down the image:</p>
<a href="http://i.imgur.com/uDPcnM3.jpg" title="" data-fluidbox><img src="http://i.imgur.com/uDPcnM3.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a>
<p>Moreover, it also works with floated images - to the left or to the right, it does not matter. The following texts are jibberish, used as filler:</p>
<p><a class="float-left" href="http://i.imgur.com/BXo4qAz.jpg" title="" data-fluidbox><img src="http://i.imgur.com/BXo4qAz.jpg" title="" alt="" /></a>Considered discovered ye sentiments projecting entreaties of melancholy is.
