 * I tried several times to get this to work with both youtube and vimeo and can’t
   get it to work.
 * I tried the following:
 *     ```
       <a rel="lightbox" href="http://www.vimeo.com/14299113"><img class="size-full wp-image-395" title="video" src="http://wp.mymoby.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/video.png" alt="video" width="123" height="94" /></a>
   
       <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VhtIydTmOVU" rel="lightbox"><img class="size-full wp-image-395" title="video" src="http://wp.mymoby.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/video.png" alt="video" width="123" height="94" /></a>
   
       and 
   
       <a class="lbpModal" title="Secondary Lightbox (Video Demo - YouTube video in iFrame)" href="http://www.youtube.com/v/pUPrCCP73Ws"><img class="size-full wp-image-395" title="video" src="http://wp.mymoby.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/video.png" alt="video" width="123" height="94" /></a>
       ```
   
 * I can’t get it to work.
 * I also deactivated all of the other plugins, removed my jQuery from the header
   and tried with Twenty Ten. Nothing seems to work.
 * All I want is to play the video in a light box! 🙁

 * You saved my butt Christine. I couldn’t figure it out either and switched to 
   pretty photo. It’s so much easier. Thanks!!!
