YouTube lightbox

2 Apr 2009
For a while now I have been toying with making my own JavaScript libraries built around the YUI libraries, as there were things out there I wanted but didn't seem to exist in a YUI flavour.

I since found that exactly what I wanted didn't seem to exist in any flavour (please correct me in the comments if I am wrong).

The two things I wanted straight away were image and video lighboxes.  Yeah, an image lightbox in YUI exists, but I want to just add a class name to a link and magically have the lightbox do all the work, and I wanted the same for youtube links.  I believe that making things as simple as possible for people, means they are more likely to use it.

So I went and made them.
