$(".inline").colorbox({inline:true, width:"50%"});<p><a class='inline' href="#inline_content">Inline HTML</a></p><div style='display:none'><div id='inline_content' style='padding:10px; background:#fff;'><p><strong>This content comes from a hidden element on this page.</strong></p><p>The inline option preserves bound JavaScript events and changes, and it puts the content back where it came from when it is closed.</p></div></div>
在上面的代码中，每种使用方式都有说明，从代码中可以看出， colorbox 使用起来是非常的简单。
colorbox 还提供了很多的属性、方法和事件，可以让我们更加方式的就用 colorbox，下面是一个从网上找的一个中文的参考列表：
KEY
设置的值
DEFAULT
默认值
DESCRIPTION
介绍
transition
“elastic”
The transition type. Can be set to “elastic”, “fade”, or “none”.
过渡效果，可以是”elastic”, “fade”, or “none”.
speed
350
Sets the speed of the fade and elastic transitions, in milliseconds.
设置过渡效果的持续时间，毫秒
href
false
This can be used as an alternative anchor URL or to associate a URL for non-anchor elements such as images or form buttons. Example:
$(‘h1′).colorbox({href:”welcome.html”})
这个用来设置一个锚标记的值或者一个不是锚的元素，例如图像或者表单的按钮，例如：
title
false
This can be used as an anchor title alternative for ColorBox.
这可以为Colorbox设置一个标题
rel
false
This can be used as an anchor rel alternative for ColorBox. This allows the user to group any combination of elements together for a gallery, or to override an existing rel so elements are not grouped together. Example:
$(‘#example a’).colorbox({rel:’group1′})
这个可以根据元素的rel属性设置要显示的元素集合，也可以覆盖一个存在的rel属性
width
false
Set a fixed total width. This includes borders and buttons. Example: “100%”, “500px”, or 500
设置宽度，包括边框和按钮
height
false
Set a fixed total height. This includes borders and buttons. Example: “100%”, “500px”, or 500
设置高度，包括边框和按钮
innerWidth
false
This is an alternative to ‘width’ used to set a fixed inner width. This excludes borders and buttons. Example: “50%”, “500px”, or 500
这个可以设定一个固定的内大小，包括边框和按钮
innerHeight
false
This is an alternative to ‘height’ used to set a fixed inner height. This excludes borders and buttons. Example: “50%”, “500px”, or 500
这个可以设定一个固定的内高度，包括边框和按钮
initialWidth
300
Set the initial width, prior to any content being loaded.
设置初始化宽度
initialHeight
100
Set the initial height, prior to any content being loaded.
设置初始化高度
maxWidth
false
Set a maximum width for loaded content. Example: “100%”, 500, “500px”
设置内容的最大宽度
maxHeight
false
Set a maximum height for loaded content. Example: “100%”, 500, “500px”
设置内容的最大高度
scalePhotos
true
If ‘true’ and if maxWidth, maxHeight, innerWidth, innerHeight, width, or height have been defined, ColorBox will scale photos to fit within the those values.
如果是true且maxWidth, maxHeight, innerWidth, innerHeight, width, 或者 height 被设置，Colorbox会缩放图片以使用边框
scrolling
true
If ‘false’ ColorBox will hide scrollbars for overflowing content. This could be used on conjunction with the resize method (see below) for a smoother transition if you are appending content to an already open instance of ColorBox.
如果是false,Colorbox不会为了溢出元素设置滚动条
iframe
false
If ‘true’ specifies that content should be displayed in an iFrame.
如果是true，元素会在Iframe中显示
inline
false
If ‘true’ a jQuery selector can be used to display content from the current page. Example:
$(“#inline”).colorbox({inline:true, href:”#myForm”});
如果是true,jquery选择器可以用来选择要显示的元素。例如：
html
false
This allows an HTML string to be used directly instead of pulling content from another source (ajax, inline, or iframe). Example:
$.fn.colorbox({html:’<p>Hello</p>’});
这个是直接让你显示HTML代码，例如：
photo
false
If true, this setting forces ColorBox to display a link as a photo. Use this when automatic photo detection fails (such as using a url like ‘photo.PHP’ instead of ‘photo.jpg’, ‘photo.jpg#1′, or ‘photo.jpg?pic=1′)
如果为true，ColorBox只会把元素按照图片显示，防止类似photo.php?pic=1这样的连接被误认为是网页
opacity
0.85
The overlay opacity level. Range: 0 to 1.
遮罩层不透明度 从0-1之间取值
open
false
If true, the lightbox will automatically open with no input from the visitor.

Colorbox是一个能在你的浏览器窗口中创建一个模态对话框的程序。。。也就是类似大家经常看到的那种遮罩层+提示框的样子。当然，你也可以让遮罩层不显示的。
在以前，用于Jquery的类似插件应该毫无疑问是Thickbox。不过前一阵子去Jquery Plugins看的时候发现Thickbox已经停止了更新，且Jquery官方推荐了几个Thickbox的替代品，我最终选择了Colorbox，因为它十分的简单易用和强大。
以下是Colorbox的官方介绍翻译，希望对大家有所帮助。

Instructions
介绍
The colorbox() function takes a key/value object and an optional callback.
colorbox()函数使用一堆key/value对象和一个可选的callback函数

下面几个方法由于时间问题没能来得及翻译，有空一定为大家补上
Public Methods
$.fn.colorbox()This method allows you to call ColorBox without having to assign it to an element. Returns 'this' (document). Example: $.fn.colorbox({href:'login.php', open:true});
$.fn.colorbox.next() & $.fn.colorbox.prev()These methods moves to the next and previous items in a gallery and are the same as pressing the 'next' or 'previous' buttons. Returns nothing.
$.fn.colorbox.close()This method initiates the close sequence, which does not immediately complete. The lightbox will be completely closed only when the 'cbox_closed' event is fired. Returns nothing.
$.fn.colorbox.element()This method is used to fetch the current HTML element that ColorBox is associated with. Returns a DOM element. Example: var that = $.fn.colorbox.element();
$.fn.colorbox.resize()This allows ColorBox to auto-resize it's height if it's content is altered. This must be called manually after the content has been updated. Set 'scrollbars' to false to prevent them from being displayed during the resize animation.
$.fn.colorbox.init()This runs silently when the DOM is first loaded and is used to initialize the lightbox (adds necessary HTML to the DOM, preloads the interface graphics, initializes variables, etc). If ColorBox were completely removed from the DOM, to load in a new stylesheet for example, this would be needed to re-initialize it.
