Hi, I was planning on implementing a little video library on a website I am making.
The page should have some icons of videos and when clicking on one, that specific video should pop up in sort of like a frame that spans over the entire web browser window and makes the background darker with a bit of transparency. You might have seen this function on many websites before, for example when viewing a video or photo in a message on Facebook.
Now I have absolutely no idea how to do this so if you could teach me some tricks that I could use to accomplish this, that would be great!
Also if there was anything wrong with this topic, I am sorry. It’s my first thread here and I don’t really know anything about this site, please tell me if I did something wrong :)

Hi Simon, for any galleries (including videos) I use [PrettyPhoto](http://www.no-margin-for-errors.com/projects/prettyphoto-jquery-lightbox-clone/ “http://www.no-margin-for-errors.com/projects/prettyphoto-jquery-lightbox-clone/”). It’s fairly simple to set up and you can specify if you want an overlay on the page when viewing videos/how transparent it is etc.
Hope that’s a help :)
Thank you David! That was exactly what I was looking for :)
