 * Hi.. Im running WP 2.2.1 on my site. None of the image gallery plugins which 
   use javascript seem to work – I’ve tried Highslide, Nextgen gallery, thumbnail
   viewer, inline gallery, galleria, mbox.. so Im pretty sure that there’s seomthing
   seriously wrong with executing javascript. I install them, activate, their quicktags
   are displayed – but the galleries dont work. I tried with and without the editor
   enabled.
 * Nextgen after activation doesnt even allow me to create new galleries from the
   Options/Gallery tab.
 * The best case scenario was with thumbnail viewer – the image was displayed in
   the post, but when you clicked it instead of a lightbox-like effect, clicking
   the thumbnail just opened the original image in a new window.
 * The mbox tags <mbox /> are also constantly changed by my wordpress editor – even
   though I was only typing in code view. It changes <mbox /> to <mbox></mbox> and
   nothing gets displayed in the post.
 * DM albums also just displays blank posts.
 * Im guessing its a javascript problem – but Ive never called a javascript function
   from a post so dont know what to do.
 * Other plugins i have installed (just to know if any are interefering) are – WP-
   ContactForm, WordPressDatabaseBackup, TinyMCEAdvanced, ThumbnailViewer, StaticFrontPage,
   SidebarTile, SearchEverything, Menubar, Mbox, KimiliFlashEmbed, EmbedIt, InlineJavascriptPlugin,
   FoldingPagesWidget, EmailObfuscator, DMAlbums, AYBJavascriptinPosts, CategoryVisibility-
   RHRev.
    Also, jquery is installed in the head of my site (jquery-1.2.6.js) Also,
   I dont know the use of a ‘js’ folder in wordpress/includes which has other folders
   like crop, jquery, tinymce, scriptaculous – could any of these be the problem?
 * I need a simple inline gallery which shows thumbnails below/above/at the side
   which, when clicked, open the larder image on the same page preferably, but I’ll
   settle for a lightbox effect.
 * Any help would be greatly appreciated.. thanks..

 * If your still struggling with the existing stability problems, I would point 
   you to alternative plugin that would address your problem:
