Make Fancybox treat text links to pictures as well

[GhostLyrics]

I'd really love to completely switch from lightbox to fancybox, still
the only thing that stops me is having a lightbox plugin that also
treats said text links to pictures and turns them into lightboxes.
I hope it's not too hard/difficult to achieve this.

I was trying to accomplish the same thing. I had an image that if you
click would activate fancybox. I also had text under the image
"enlarge image" that i wanted to trigger fancybox. All i had to do was
give the anchor's different ID names for the images and the text.

For example

$("a#image").fancybox();
$("a#text").fancybox();

Hope this helps!

actually you can have a single class and assign it to either, the text
link or image thumbnail (or both)
$("a.launch_fancybox").fancybox();

your html:

<a class="launch_fancybox">Open the image in modal box</a>

and/or

<a class="launch_fancybox"><img src="my_image_thumbnail.jpg" /></a>
