Thought it was a copy of lightbox.

Don't quite know whats wrong with it.

Paul · 06-03-2007, 15:21

aye, tiz a copy of lightbox using moo shit. i probabaly could change it so it runs off lightbox but to be honest i would like to get to the bottom of this prob

RaelRode · 06-03-2007, 15:27

Why not just use Lightbox?? Its simpler than Slimbox with Mootools.

Paul · 06-03-2007, 15:30

Thats no way to learn. If i can't get it working soon i'll have to just use the lightbox but i would rather figuire this out so i know the problem if it crops up again

Paul · 06-03-2007, 16:16

Think its to do with the dropdown box which its contained inside. fuk! going to have to re-think what i'm going to do!

I don't know what the problem is, but you should have a look at jQuery - it's small, very neat and can do just about anything you'd need. There's a lightbox-style plugin for it too, called thickbox. Used it without any issues (even did flash embedding on the overlay screen it creates).

Paul · 07-03-2007, 05:41

Ah! Nice wan, forgot all about the thickbox, i'll test it out tonight. cheers

Paul · 08-03-2007, 04:56

Tried the thickbox but no joy again. seems like the prototype.lite script that i'm using is causing some sorta conflict.

anyone got any other suggestions?

stickmus · 08-03-2007, 05:32

Site works for me. FF XP. If you were using Thickbox you'd have to redo your other script to work with jQuery to stop the conflicts

Paul · 09-03-2007, 05:13

Solved it. Ended up just using the litebox which uses the prototype lite script therefore not causing a conflict.
