I have a weird issue where lightbox appears to be working but no larger image appears.

Links to images are correct and thumbnails are showing but no full size image.

There are also no errors in the console.

I have my gallery HTML set up as such:

<a href="images/here.jpg" rel="lightbox"><img src="images/here.jpg" alt="FAST Festival Image Gallery"></a>

I have ensured that JQuery, JQuery UI, Lightbox.css, Lighbox.js and jquery.smooth-scroll.min.js are all present.

Does anyone know whats happening at all?

EDIT:

Checking in the console I see there is not image appearing in the Lightbox div when it is envoked

<div id="lightboxOverlay" style="width: 1633px; height: 1234px; display: block;"></div>

It appears that this version of LightBox isnt compatible with the lastest version of JQuery.

I had linked to version 1.9 hosted on Google. I changed to version 1.7 that comes with the download and it works
