jQuery FancyBox, what is it good for?

What is the use of a tool such as FancyBox? Any real world examples?

Thanks.

FancyBox has many uses. Personally I use its iFrame display quite alot. But in reality it is probably most used for displaying a large version of an image, so you can display a small thumbnail of an image to users, keeping the page looking neat, while still allowing the user to see the full picture without them being navigated away from the page.

I have a blog post which shows a real world use of the iFrame function of fancybox, adding fancybox to blogger.com

Scripts like this are a great way to display large images (or other resources, but hearafter referred to as images) on a page without leaving the page or breaking up the layout to accommodate the large image. They also allow the viewer to easily focus on the large image with reduced distraction from the rest of the page. Finally, it's quick - no loading new pages, just the image you're viewing. There are a number of similar scripts based on different JavaScript frameworks and offering different looks and features.
