A:You should start the gallery onClick:

<script type="text/javascript">
function showLightBox()
{ Lightbox.start(document.getElementById('firstImage'));}
</script>

2) Specify the onClick event for the image (or link):
<img src="thumbnail_gr.jpg" onClick="javascript:showLightBox()" title="Click to see the demo" style="cursor: pointer;">
3) Set the ID for any image in your gallery (id="firstImage"), for example add it to the first image:
<a rel="lightbox_vlb" href="data/images/dscn6831.jpg" title="dscn6831" id="firstImage">
