A lightweight jQuery plugin to create a simple and clean image lightbox with an image caption. This lightbox plugin simply detects caption from image alt text and shows it in the lightbox popup.

How to Create Simple Clean Image Lightbox

1. First of all load the jQuery JavaScript library and Normalize CSS into the HTML document to get started with a clean lightbox.

<!-- jQuery -->
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.4.0.min.js"></script>

<!-- Normalize CSS -->	
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/normalize/8.0.1/normalize.css" />

2. After that, create a section, add your image links with alt attribute and place them in an unordered list with a class name gallery.

<section>
   <ul class="gallery">
    <li><a href="image/castle.jpg"><img src="image/castle.jpg" alt="Large Castle"></a></li>
    <li><a href="image/nature.jpg"><img src="image/nature.jpg" alt="Beautiful Nature"></a></li>
    <li><a href="image/ship.jpg"><img src="image/ship.jpg" alt ="Wide Ocean"></a></li>
    <li><a href="image/tunnel.jpg"><img src="image/tunnel.jpg" alt ="Misterious Tunnel"></a></li>
    </ul>
</section>

3. Finally include the clean lightbox’s CSS and JavaScript files in your webpage and done!

<!-- Clean Lightbox CSS -->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/style.css">

<!-- Clean Lightbox JS -->
<script src="js/jquery.clean-lighbox.js"></script>
