Some nice ones. Esp. like the jQuery one. But why, why, why don't people use position:fixed;

position:fixed; isnt supported by IE6, or am i wrong? but that might be the reason

There are legions of .htc on the net to make IE5.5-6 "support" position:fixed;

Ooh I like that second website, It's also good to see that Lightbox doesn't rely on the Prototype or Scriptaculous libraries anymore.

I've used Slimbox in the past with great results, it does rely on the mooTools library though, which IMHO is one of the best.

The problem with such behaviour scripts is that they're quite a performance hit. That's why it's sometimes better to avoid unsupported properties.

In which case it doesn't hurt to have the following CSS

.lightboxThingaMajic
{
    position:fixed !important;
    position:absolute;
    /* ... */
}

I've tried dozens of them, this is my fav:
