Hi

I want to show a popup you tube video player in my web page.I downloaded lighbox from the following link:
http://ftp.drupal.org/files/projects/lightbox2-6.x-1.11.zip

I extracted the zip file into my sites root

I added the following lines in my page header:
<link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" media="all" href="/lightbox2/css/lightbox.css?1" />

<script type="text/javascript" src="/lightbox2/js/auto_image_handling.js?1"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/lightbox2/js/lightbox_video.js?1"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/lightbox2/js/lightbox.js?1"></script>

and the following in the body

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0gBtF_awV2o" rel=lightvideo[width:500px;height:400px;]> <img src="sample" alt="Live TV">

But the video opens up in a new tab and not as a popup.Where am i going wrong?I cant find tutorials for this anywhere, although i have this kind of code in many other pages with popup videos.
