The Image Lightbox On Click action displays an image by filling the screen and dimming the rest of the page with a semitransparent overlay. A customer triggers this lightbox when they click a defined page element and closes it by clicking either the overlay mask or a close button incorporated into the image with a click zone. The action also appends included CSS styles in the <head> of the page.
Required Components
Relative Element Selector
Input the element selector in the Relative Element Selector field. This selector defines what element on the page the customer must click to trigger the lightbox. For additional information on selectors, refer to Element Selectors.
Image Creative
Monetate displays the uploaded image on the page as part of a full-page overlay. This image supports click zones used as links or as a close button when you set the click zone URL to #close.
Lightbox ID
The lightbox ID is an identifier number that you select between 0 and 31 that's used to distinguish this experience's lightbox from any other lightboxes and their display frequencies. The cookie-based lightbox ID distinguish this action from any other lightboxes or banners with the same ID. The banner with this ID is then shown to a customer based on the display frequency settings and can be dismissed after it has loaded or on user interaction.
Display Frequency
This input works with the lightbox ID to control the frequency that a lightbox is shown to a specific customer or audience segment. Several options are available:
- Every page
- Once per session
- Once, ever
- Once every 'X' days

CSS Style
Anything you add to the CSS editor is appended to a stylesheet in the <head> portion of your site in a <style> block. These styles are available on this page for use with any page elements.
Select All Elements
The Select multiple elements, if matched? toggle allows you to apply the action to the first occurrence of the element selector or all occurrences of the selector, if multiple exist.
Selecting NO applies the action to the first occurrence. Selecting YES applies the action to all occurrences.
