I have lightbox v2.0 on my website looking fantastic, however, for some reason when i create a group of sucessive images i.e. 12 images of a car it shows the last picture of the series. i.e. image 12 of12 instead of starting with image 1 of 12.
By now you are undoubtedly bashing your collective heads against your keyboards wondering "why don't these newbs get it?". Believe me when I tell you that I have tried your suggestions in an effort to solve this 'backwards running slideshow issue' and have been unsuccessful. On the surface it seems as if all I need do is make my list of images and Lightbox should allow me to navigate through them starting with the first one (at the top of the list) and proceed using the 'next' button, to the end of my image group (at the bottom of the list).
Apparently it is not that straightforward.
As it stands, this is how Lightbox is working for me:
-I click a link on my website ... -Lightbox opens to display the relevant image group ... -Lightbox tells me (via lower left corner text) that I am actually looking at image 10 of 10 rather than 1 of 10 ... -My only option is to view my slideshow backwards via the 'Prev' command.
Please note that I have inverted the image order in the above code (image 1 at the bottom) so that at least I'm able to view my images in the order I prefer, even if I need to navigate backwards.

This issue is maddening to me, and is becoming an issue for those that are visiting my site. I have a feeling that the answer is right in front of me, but I sure can't see it.
I've visited your site, I clicked on the Order Up! Link. it showed me a image with text describing the following images and is Image 1 of 10 in the bottom left corner
As jcesario has mentioned above i am still baffled by the lightbox scipt. I have incorporated the script into one page only which can be found here http://haveyouarrived.com/weddings.html.
So far as i can see I have implemented the script in the correct manner however, I am still experiencing the same issues.
Please feel free to view the website and the source code an elaborate on where I am going wrong!
jcesario </td> at the bottom of the group images...could help the flow.
jtrobinson <img src=" need to be in the in the second line after your <a href=" of your group images. Putting <a href=" at the bottom messes with the order of the group
I have done everything suggested to me and I can't get this thing to work the way I want it to.
An interesting side-note: I am seeing this problem in my default browser, which is Firefox. I just now decided to test it using IE and lo and behold, my image sequence starts with number 1 and proceeds from there.
Does anyone have any thoughts on Lightbox alternatives? Perhaps an older version?
There are many Lightbox alternatives! But maybe you will have the same problems with the alternatives. A good alternative (in my opinion) is Slimbox (there is a Mootools version and a jQuery version, see http://www.digitalia.be/software/).
