Sorry to trouble you with my earlier post. I have got it sorted to
some extent although having the perfect solution of the lightbox
gallery from a single image link is still beyond me - perhaps that is
impossible. My results so far are here:

Some of the difficulties I have had stem from the mysterious way that
moving from the html editor to the visual editor and back again
creates havoc with a gallery and sometimes even removes some html
altogether e.g. the 'Clear The Display' Div (<div
style="clear:both;"></div>) gets wiped away if you go back and forth.
Sorry again for my ignorance, but is this a well known problem?

Thanks for anyone who has looked or can help.

Hi Neil,

I see that you have an alternative on this.

Anyway here is the solution: To be able to browse a set of picture you need to give it set name for example code below: el="lightbox[plants]" where 'plants' is the set name.

<a title="Roll over and click right side of image to move forward." rel="lightbox[plants]" href="images/image-3.jpg"><img width="100" height="40" alt="Plants: image 1 0f 4 thumb" src="images/thumb-3.jpg"/></a>

The rel attribute with [set_name] will make you can go left and right one picture to next.

Hope this helps.
