SqueezeBox.initialize({});

$$('a.lightbox').each(function(el) {

el.addEvent('click', function(e) {

new Event(e).stop();

SqueezeBox.fromElement(el);

});

});

OR if no domready

window.addEvent('domready', function() {

SqueezeBox.initialize({});

$$('a.lightbox').each(function(el) {

el.addEvent('click', function(e) {

});

});

});

[a class="lightbox" href="images/stories/image.jpg"][img class="noborder" src="images/stories/small_image.jpg" border="0" alt="Image" /][/a]
