If (or should I say when) Thickbox does a lot more (like transition animations between images in a gallery etc), then the code size would increase. To solve the issue of requests for multiple files, you could always have a download page that you can use to configure your download (like the one at http://interface.eyecon.ro/download). You check the features you want and then it merges those files server side (or gets a prebuilt copy) and sends you the compressed version in one file. > > > [-Stash-] wrote: > > > > I like this idea but for one point.
