The same method can easily be used for the original LightBox v2, but unless
you really need Prototype/scriptaculuos, I se no reason why to use that.
Prototype.js (46Kb) + scriptaculuos.js (2.1Kb) + effects.js (31Kb) +
Lightbox v2 (22Kb) = 101.1Kb
Mootools.js (16.6Kb) + Slimbox_ex.js (5.5Kb) = 22.1Kb
I fail to understand why TYPO3 has chosen to ship that bloated Prototype
library with v4.1, as there's several (better and smaller) JS libraries
around, like JQuery and Mootools.
