How to Make Responsive Lightbox Image Gallery

1. After downloading the plugin, load the lightbox CSS files into your webpage.

<!-- Responsive Lightbox Gallery CSS -->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/main.css">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/lightbox.min.css">

2. Create markup for gallery images and put your image links in it.

 <ul>
                    <li>
                        <a class="link-photo" data-lightbox="img" href="img/bathtub.jpg" title="Powieksz zdjecie">
                            <img src="img/bathtubTH.jpg" alt="demo">
                        </a>
                    </li>
                    <li>
                        <a class="link-photo" data-lightbox="img" href="img/the-bath.jpg" title="Powieksz zdjecie">
                            <img src="img/the-bathTH.jpg" alt="demo">
                        </a>
                    </li>
                    <li>
                        <a class="link-photo" data-lightbox="img" href="img/children.jpg" title="Powieksz zdjecie">
                            <img src="img/childrenTH.jpg" alt="demo">
                        </a>
                    </li>
                    <li>
                        <a class="link-photo" data-lightbox="img" href="img/asia.jpg" title="Powieksz zdjecie">
                            <img src="img/asiaTH.jpg" alt="demo">
                        </a>
                    </li>
                </ul>
