Works very well now, after IE fixes

    Works very nicely on my desktop, laptop and Retina iPad. On my Nokia 820 With Windows Phone 8 (with the built in browser), it’s a mess unfortunately. On a page with several photos (which works perfectly ok on other devices), it shows the first image fine, but when trying to swipe or use arow buttons to move to the next photo, it just shows a black box, with the controls though. If trying to use the controls or swipe, the whole thing goes black. I know the Win Phone market share is “small”, but not smaller that there will be about 50 million users out there who can’t watch my gallery properly…

    Update: The IE problems (there were also problems with desktop IE), affecting the Swipebox, has now been fixed, and since it was otherwise a very good plugin, I change my rating to a fiver!

    There are 4 scripts to choose from. Did you test everything?

    Thanks for the answer. I wasn’t aware of that, so I’ll get back and try!

    I have tested a bit more now, but i’m afraid I can’t get it to work as I intended when displaying the site on my WinPhone:

    1. The Fancybox variant works fine on all Devices, including the WinPhone, just like the Easy Fancybox plugin I have used for a long time.

    2. However, I have realized that the only proper way of diplaying photos on small mobile devices (smaller than the standard iPad size that is) is full screen. And one should be able to swipe between images. The SwipeBox variant had been perfect, since it does all this, and without upscaling photos on large screens (like some of these fullscreen lightboxes do, which makes the photos look horrible on desktop screens!).

    3. I tried both the methods one can select for the SwipeBox, CSS and jQuery, and none of them work properly on the WinPhone (but perfect on my other devices). Which is a pity, since I really liked this plugin.

    I use a theme from Themify.me, “Fullscreen”, with a built in Page Builder system. I don’t know if the theme or other plugins may cause the SwipeBox trouble, but I presume it would then also affect the site when using other devices?

    Since version 1.4.2 now seems to have fixed the IE (desktop & Win Phone 8) problems, You may now change my star rating to a five!
