I'm tring to figure out Lightbox2 - I understand it's a commonly used bit of software and wondered if anyone here might be able to help me...

Lightbox 2
I don't have a lot of CSS experience, is this the correct place for the script code?

I've downloaded the lightbox2 files - dumped the contents of the folders into the root directory of the site (css/images/js)
By the by the css file is appearing as a .txt file - ?!
Anyway I've also added the line of code for the image - see above "<a href="http://forums.techguy.org/images/image-1.jpg" rel="lightbox" title="my caption">image #1</a>"
The preview in firefox simply shows a hotlink "image #1" which loads the larger image at the bottom of the page - not as it should...
Am I missing anything with the css files that come with the appliation? do I just dump them into the root directory?
Any ideas? - I'd love the get this figured!
