GreyBox 4.0 unleashed

I have just released version 4.0 GreyBox, a pop-up window that doesn't suck.

New things in this version include:

  • One can now show sets of webpages and browse through them.
    Thanks to Carlos Chegado for sponsoring this feature.
  • Rewritten to OOP JavaScript.
  • Size reduced from 50 KB to only 19 KB - Including AJS!

AJS is the first polymorphic library that takes size reduction to a whole new level -> A Python script can scan the code, find the AJS functions that are used and from this generate a new library with only the needed functions.

For GreyBox the AJS minification reduced AJS's size from 30 KB to only 9 KB - that's really something! And on top of this I used Dojo's Rhino based compressor to chop even more off.

For compression, the very popular Lightbox 2 script uses 100 KB, where Prototype takes 50 KB - I really doubt that Lightbox 2 uses all the features of Prototype. Viva la AJS :)

Thank you. Thank you. And TY.
This particular feature is one of the best that can be found.
I am not a developer, just a webdesigner that tries to implement simple js libraries on websites and yours is sooo easy to use, even on a CMS like Joomla, on which I did it successfully.
Mind if I digg it ?
