How to Use Lightbox With Smooth Anchors
Lightbox is a function that web developers can use when programming cascading stylesheets, or CSS, documents. It's based on jQuery, a programming language developed for creating user interface elements and effects and uses the Javascript code framework. Smooth anchors, or page anchors, allow developers to provide links to other sections of the same web page. You can use smooth anchors to link to images displayed in overlays on your web page by using the Lightbox script.
