The second of a series of powerful upgrades to Advanced DHTML Popup Pro has been released. Version 2.48 completes the plugin implementation. Last month we announced the modal script (lightbox effect) is now a real plugin, fully automated. This month the overlay images pack and the video script are both integrated.
