Sometimes it might be useful to have a Lightbox opened when a page is loaded. In order to achieve this, you need to have the following function set in your document's header:

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
 (function() {
  if (!DMX.Lightbox.instance) {
  window.setTimeout(arguments.callee, 800);
  return;
  }
  DMX.Lightbox.instance.open('','http://www.awebsite.com', {title:'MyTitle'});
 })();
//-->
</script>

As you can see the DMX.Lightbox.instance.open in the example is set to open an external URL. You can have anything referred in that position - image, page, video, flash file. If the file is inside the current website, a relative link is sufficient! Have a look at the other examples:

DMX.Lightbox.instance.open('','images/myimage.jpg', {title:'MyImage', width:640, height:480});

DMX.Lightbox.instance.open('','mypage.asp', {title:'MyPage'});

DMX.Lightbox.instance.open('','media/movies/mymovie.wmv', {title:'MyTitle'});

DMX.Lightbox.instance.open('','http://www.awebsite.com/flash/aflashfile.swf', {title:'AFlashFile'}); 

Then in {} you can use the following parameters:
title: 'MyTitle' ,
width: 200 - in pixels,
height: 200 - in pixels,
preset: 'PresetExactName',
group: 'GroupExactName'

For the preset: option you can choose between the following default presets: blue, border-art, classic, default, minimalistic, orange, paspartu and thin.

Give it a try and see what happens! I'd really appreciate your feedback on your results! If you have any questions just let me know!
