Awesome! I'm using this on my personal web site. Love it to death but the validation thing was definitely an issue for me. I eagerly away 1.2.6. I was worried when I saw the dates of these posts but that's great news! Thanks.

rel tags are perfectly valid for XHTML strict. Also we run into the same issue if we use class and start the name with a #.

The patch PeterLi proposed seems to be the sanest solution but it was on an older code base and apparently not included in newer code. Not sure why or am I missing something and there is a newer way to handle this issue?

I see there is a target option but besides a very scanty description I see no examples on how to use it.

I see only to ways currently to deal with this. Either fix the overlay code so that it does not require a # or use Javascript to dynamically modify the DOM. I dislike the second option as you are still dealing with invalid markup. All it does is hide that from the browser.

	$('a[rel]').each(function(){
		$(this).attr('rel', '#' + $(this).attr('rel'));
	});

Which DOCTYPE are you guys validating on. Using the anchor tag instead of the img is fine but # is not a valid value for the rel value

"character "#" is not allowed in the value of attribute "rel""

This was XHTML strict. If it can match up without that # it'd be perfect.
