If you have a set of related items that you would like to group,
additionally include a group name in the `rel` (or `data-fancybox-group`) attribute:
Initialise the script like this:
May also be passed an optional options object which will extend the default values. Example:
Tip: Automatically group and apply fancyBox to all images:
$("a[href$='.jpg'],a[href$='.jpeg'],a[href$='.png'],a[href$='.gif']").attr('rel', 'gallery').fancybox();
Script uses the `href` attribute of the matched elements to obtain the location of the content and to figure out content type you want to display.
You can specify type directly by adding classname (fancybox.image, fancybox.iframe, etc) or `data-fancybox-type` attribute:
//Ajax:
Example
//or
Example
//Iframe:
Example
//Inline (will display an element with `id="example"`)
Example
//SWF:
Example
//Image:
Example
Note, ajax requests are subject to the [same origin policy](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Same_origin_policy).
If fancyBox will not be able to get content type, it will try to guess based on 'href' and will quit silently if would not succeed.
(this is different from previsous versions where 'ajax' was used as default type or an error message was displayed).

### Helpers
Helpers provide a simple mechanism to extend the capabilities of fancyBox. There are two built-in helpers - 'overlay' and 'title'.
You can disable them, set custom options or enable other helpers. Examples:
//Disable title helper
$(".fancybox").fancybox({
helpers: {
title: null
}
});
//Disable overlay helper
$(".fancybox").fancybox({
helpers: {
overlay : null
}
});
//Change title position and overlay color
$(".fancybox").fancybox({
helpers: {
title : {
type : 'inside'
},
overlay : {
css : {
'background' : 'rgba(255,255,255,0.5)'
}
}
}
});
//Enable thumbnail helper and set custom options
$(".fancybox").fancybox({
helpers: {
thumbs : {
width: 50,
height: 50
}
}
});
### API
Also available are event driven callback methods. The `this` keyword refers to the current or upcoming object (depends on callback method). Here is how you can change title:
$(".fancybox").fancybox({
beforeLoad : function() {
this.title = 'Image ' + (this.index + 1) + ' of ' + this.group.length + (this.title ? ' - ' + this.title : '');
/*
"this.element" refers to current element, so you can, for example, use the "alt" attribute of the image to store the title:
this.title = $(this.element).find('img').attr('alt');
*/
}
});
It`s possible to open fancyBox programmatically in various ways:
//HTML content:
$.fancybox( 'Lorem lipsum
