- Add the following markup within the <body> tags to create the widget. The <div> element creates the widget, and we call its id attribute in jQuery to initialize it. The hyperlink and image elements set up the images to display.

</div> |
- Within the <head> tags, below the references, add the following script to initialize the widget and display buttons and controls, set the position of the controls, and display the selected image as a modal box (meaning that the page cannot be interacted with when an image is open).

$(document).ready(function () {
$("#lightbox1").wijlightbox({
modal: true,
controlsPosition: 'outside',
ctrlButtons: 'play|stop',
dialogButtons: 'close|fullsize'
});
});
</script> |
- Within the <head> tags, above the script to initialize the widget, set the size of the widget using CSS.
