[OpenLayers-Users] problem with lightbox in openlayers

Sun Aug 23 09:25:09 EDT 2009

Hi at all,

I wrote an application in openlayers which shows popups whenever you 
click a point of my wfs in the map.
Now I want that a thumbnail is in this popup and when you click it the 
picture will be shown in the original size in a lightbox.
The thumbnail and the link to the picture are working perfectly but the 
browser doesn't show it in the lightbox but in a simple new 
browser-window. But why? I tried the lightbox in a simple html-file and 
there it works without a problem. Does openlayers disable it?

Here is my code:

<html>
   <head>     <link rel="stylesheet" href="includes/style.css" 
type="text/css" media="screen">
   <script src="../openl/lib/OpenLayers.js"></script>
   <script type="text/javascript" src="../lytebox/lytebox.js"></script>
   <script type="text/javascript">

       var map, selectControl, selectedFeature;
           function onPopupClose(evt) {
           selectControl.unselect(selectedFeature);
       }
             function onFeatureSelect(feature) {

           selectedFeature = feature;              popup = new 
OpenLayers.Popup("info",

feature.geometry.getBounds().getCenterLonLat(),
                                    new OpenLayers.Size(350,210),

"<html><h1>"+feature.attributes.Name+"</h1><b>Vergleich 
"+feature.attributes.Jahr+" & 2009:</b><br /><table width='330' 
height='100%' cellspacing='0' cellpadding='10'><tr><td valign='top'><a 
href='images/"+feature.attributes.Nick+".jpg' rel='lytebox' 
title='"+feature.attributes.Name+"'><img 
src='images/"+feature.attributes.Nick+"_thbn.jpg' 
border='0'></a></td><td 
valign='top'>"+feature.attributes.Info+"</td></tr></table></html>", 
false, onPopupClose);
                     feature.popup = popup;
           map.addPopup(popup);               }
             function onFeatureUnselect(feature) {
           map.removePopup(feature.popup);
           feature.popup.destroy();
           feature.popup = null;
       }

---> after that the init()-function is programmed

It would be great if anybody could help me!!!

Thanks a lot!
