Bumpbox is a Free Lightbox Clone that supports Images, FLV, HTML, SWF & PDF files to show in an overlay window (popup). So in simple words this beautiful and handy Lightbox alternative has some advantages over Lightbox that it not only supports common media types but also support PDF files.
Its very simple to implement on your own site. You just need to add scripts to page head section, add classes to your links that should use bumpbox, define a rel tag with the size that the bumpbox should have and you’re ready to use Free Popup Media Viewer.
Bumpbox can automatically detects the filetype you wish to show in the box, so you do not need to specify the type.
This bumpbox uses the flowplayer© media player to show flv files. If you do not intend showing flv files, you do not need to copy the flow player.min.js and the flowplayer.swf as well as the flowplayer.controls.swf to your doucment root.
