[TYPO3-UG US] Recent Site (Fusion Advertising)

[Ron Hall]

Hi Virgil,

Yes. Lightboxes always have issue with that kind of thing because of  
how you have to position them with CSS. It is something I always  
caution the client about. If they insist on using them, you have to  
run a balance between lightbox window and monitor sizes.

However, the lightboxes will also close when you click outside of  
them. You do not have to use "close"
