Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I nearly died trying to get links in a caption to work. Thanks for making it clear!

Is there any way to have the captions at the top of the image instead of the bottom?

Hey, I just wanted to say you’re a genius!! As the last person before me posted, I don’t want the link to show up when I hover over the image. Is there a way to fix this?

This is exactly what I was looking for EXCEPT that the link now shows up when I hover over the image. Is there any way to hide that? I thought the alt tag would override it but it doesn’t. I just want the title to show up not the link.

Thanks so much for this! I prefer this than the rel method for lightbox 2 (makes the whole caption a link)

hi, have you had any issues with the link inside the lightbox caption not working for Internet Explorer? When I view this same page the lightbox opens up onto white screen w/image in upper left…wondering if you know how to make it work with IE7…thanks.

Heyyyy,

Love the scripts. They work great. I’m trying to edit core files in a wordpress gallery2 plugin called wpg2. Trying to make default title say ‘img name (click here to download)’

Any experience with this plugin? Scratching my head, haha.

Thanks. Works fine for me in Safari, BTW.

One question: how to add an inline style to the link? Currently my link color is white, which renders the link invisible.
