I have put a lightbox code into my site. It works great in IE, but not in any other browser.

You can view the page and code here,

Barefoot

When I go to the site to view the lighbox, it works perfectly in every browser.

I made my site and everything in dreamweaver cs5. Does anyone have an idea on how to fix this?

Thanks.

Where is the lightbox? I'm not seeing it on there anywhere. And most of the site doesn't appear to be working.

Most of the site isn't uploaded. I only uploaded this part.

When you click on a piece of furniture the light box is supposed to enlarge it.

Well, you don't need all that map coding for lightbox. The rel="lightbox" should be on the image, and you can nix all the usemap stuff. You only use that if you have specific regions of an image clickable rather than the whole thing. Click on the site link in my sig for an example of using lightbox coding in a gallery.

Also, you might want to make the gallery links dropdowns, the interim pages don't do the rest justice. Keep 'em for accessibility's sake as a top level link, but add some images or something.

You also might want to ditch the tables for layout. Again, check how mine's coded as an example of that.

But overall, let me say I like the look and its potential!

Well, all three pictures are one image. But each furniture has a hotspot thing on it, making it a link to the light box.

When I tried just a single image as the light box, it doesn't work either. Only in IE. Is there anything wrong with the coding?

Crap, I just realized that I have been posting a link to the wrong section.... The light box is here..

Barefoot

Click on any piece of furniture, and it should expand, but only in IE... Errors every where else.

That's the one I was talking about. You don't need the image map thing, which is likely what's throwing it off. Link to the anchor of each image like so and that should take care of it:

Code:
<a href="filelocation/largerimage.jpg" rel="lightbox" title="lightbox description">
   <img src="filelocation/thumbnail.jpg"  alt="alt text" />
</a>
From the looks of it, each of those cells was an individual thumbnail, which is as it should be, which negates the need for image maps, which you want to avoid for accessibility's sake, anyway.
