Facebox is a jQuery-based, Facebook-style lightbox plugin that can display images, divs, or remote pages in a modal overlay. It is a legacy frontend library targeting old browsers and is no longer actively maintained.
Use cases
- show images in a modal lightbox on a webpage
- display a div or inline content in a popup dialog
- load remote pages via ajax into a modal overlay
- add facebook-style popup dialogs to a jquery site
- open modal dialogs with rel=facebox links
When to choose
- maintaining a legacy jQuery codebase that already uses Facebox
- you need a simple lightbox for an old browser-support matrix
When to avoid
- starting a new modern frontend project
- you need accessibility features or mobile support
- you want an actively maintained library
