lightbox not working

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Feb 25.2007

Hey everyone, I found this Lightbox v2 scipt and thought it looked nice, and easy, so I thought I’d add it to my site.

I did exactly what the very minimal instructions told me to do, but it’s not working. I keep getting IE giving me a javascript error (in the really detailed, descriptive way that it does) on line 88 – ‘Element is undefined’. Any ideas what I could be doing wrong?

My test page is at [url]http://www.occasionalweb.com/test[/url] – when you click on the photo I had rather hoped lightbox would do its thing. Alas it’s not to be…

Any help most gratefully received.

@jpmoriartyauthorFeb 26.2007 — Okay half way there - it turns out you've got to call the javascripts in a particular order, which I've now corrected and it works.<i>
</i> &lt;script src="lightbox2.02/js/scriptaculous.js?load=effects" type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
&lt;script src="lightbox2.02/js/prototype.js" type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
&lt;script src="lightbox2.02/js/lightbox.js" type="text/javascript" &gt;&lt;/script&gt;
&lt;script src="lightbox2.02/js/effects.js" type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;


However, I'm now getting an error in IE: LIne 33, Char 7, "Exception thrown and not caught". Any ideas how to correct this?

Success!
