I'm looking for something very, very close in functionality to the lightbox on Apple's MacBook Pro website (the lightbox will open automatically).

I really need the thumbnail slider and the text-area. The layout can be different, as I have the skills to remodel it if need be, I just don't have the time to build it from scratch.

No preference of dependent libraries.

If you use a standard lightbox, you could probably incorporate this control into it:

or maybe you're looking for something more like this:

Basically what you want is a lightbox with an embedded carousel control

yeah, highslide has that already, but I'm also after the large text content area too

the content areas will just be standard divs that get updated via ajax when the click even of the objects in the slider are fired

Yeah, I know, but as I said in my OP, I don't have the time (that is, the boss won't allocate me work hours) to spend building a solution from scratch ...

ended up combining JCarouselLite with Galleria and using Fancybox to pull it altogether - took longer than I had available, but the client will be happy I hope ...
