I have a web page here that uses a javascript pop-up to show pictures when the reader clicks on a link. The script works great (at least in FF and IE. What I would like to do is add the link text as a caption to the bottom of the pop-up frame to the left of the Close button. Alternatively, I'd like to add the image file name as a caption in that same spot.

I know the script gets the image file name but I can't figure out how to pass it back into the html output.

The html on the calling page is simply adding a rel="facebox" tag to a link.

Code:
<a href="EM_Amsinckia_tessellata.jpg" rel="facebox">Amsinckia tessellata</a>
Here is the javascript:

Code:
/*
 * Facebox (for jQuery)
 * version: 1.1 (03/01/2008)
 * @requires jQuery v1.2 or later
 *
 * Examples at http://famspam.com/facebox/
 *
 * Licensed under the MIT:

 * Copyright 2007, 2008 Chris Wanstrath [ chris@ozmm.org ]
 *
 * Usage:
 *  
 *  jQuery(document).ready(function() {
 *    jQuery('a[rel*=facebox]').facebox() 
 *  })
 *
 *  <a href="#terms" rel="facebox">Terms</a>
 *    Loads the #terms div in the box
 *
 *  <a href="terms.html" rel="facebox">Terms</a>
 *    Loads the terms.html page in the box
 *
 *  <a href="terms.png" rel="facebox">Terms</a>
 *    Loads the terms.png image in the box
 *
 *
 *  You can also use it programmatically:
 * 
 *    jQuery.facebox('some html')
 *
 *  This will open a facebox with "some html" as the content.
 *    
 *    jQuery.facebox(function() { ajaxes })
 *
 *  This will show a loading screen before the passed function is called,
 *  allowing for a better ajax experience.

Here is the CSS file that goes with the script:
Code:

}

#facebox .tl {
  background:url(tl.png);
}

#facebox .tr {
  background:url(tr.png);
}

#facebox .bl {
  background:url(bl.png);
}

#facebox .br {
  background:url(br.png);
}

#facebox {
  position: absolute;
  width: 100%;
  top: 0;
  left: 0;
  z-index: 100;
  text-align: left;
}

#facebox .popup {
  position: relative;
  right: 10; /*  added test line */
  float: right; /*  added test line */
}

#facebox table {
  margin: auto;
  border-collapse: collapse;
}

#facebox .body {
  padding: 10px;
  background: #fff;
  width: 370px;
}

#facebox .loading {
  text-align: center;
}

#facebox .image {
  text-align: center;
}

#facebox img {
  border: 0;
}

#facebox .footer {
  border-top: 1px solid #DDDDDD;
  padding-top: 5px;
  margin-top: 10px;
  text-align: right;
}

#facebox .tl, #facebox .tr, #facebox .bl, #facebox .br {
  height: 10px;
  width: 10px;
  overflow: hidden;
  padding: 0;
}

Thanks for any help.

else if (this.href.match(image_types)) {
var image = new Image()
image.onload = function() {
$.facebox.reveal('<div class="image"><img src="' + image.src + '" /></div>', klass)
}
image.src = this.href

// ajax
}


That's the relevant block.


Changing
$.facebox.reveal('<div class="image"><img src="' + image.src + '" /></div>', klass)
to
$.facebox.reveal('<div class="image"><img src="' + image.src + '" />' + image.src + '</div>', klass)

should approximate the result you are after. I'll leave the string operations to pretty it up as an exercise.
