Ajax + lightbox

[jscheuer1]

hi John,

after reading the development thread, i still can't figure out how to resolve the problem. when i click on an link to an image, it still shows up on a new page. i cant get lightbox to work on it. is there some changes that i need to make on it?

thanks,

I'm confused. What did you read and what did you do? To sort it out with any hope of certainty, I would need a link to your pages that are having the problem.

hi John,

sorry for the confusion. here's what i am having problems with. ajax menu bar + lightbox. on the site, www.66mott.com - when you click on gallery and click any of the image links, instead on initiating the lightbox feature, it loads the picture on a new page. i noticed that the lightbox feature only works on the index page, maybe because of the ajax menu bar i am using.

here is an example of 2 links on how it looks like on my index.php page:

('../menufolder/gallery.html', 'contentarea');">Gallery</a></li>
<li><a href="javascript:ajaxpage[/COLOR]('../menufolder/press.html', 'contentarea');">Press Review</a></li>


i created a gallery.html page to put the lightbox feature in it, but when i click it, it opens the picture on a new page WITHOUT activating the lightbox feature.



here is what the information i have on my gallery.html page.

<script type="text/javascript">
function pollContent(id){
if(document.getElementById(id)){
initLightbox();
document.getElementById(id).id="";
}
else
setTimeout("pollContent('"+id+"')", 60)
}
</script>


<script type="text/javascript" src="../root/js/prototype.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="../root/js/scriptaculous.js?load=effects"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="../root/js/lightbox.js"></script>

this is to activate the lightbox. i hope this helps.
thanks,

This stuff on your gallery.html is useless, get rid of it:

<script type="text/javascript">
function pollContent(id){
if(document.getElementById(id)){
initLightbox();
document.getElementById(id).id="";
}
else
setTimeout("pollContent('"+id+"')", 60)
}
</script>

<link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="../index.php"/>
<script type="text/javascript" src="../root/js/prototype.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="../root/js/scriptaculous.js?load=effects"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="../root/js/lightbox.js"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="../root/css/lightbox.css" type="text/css" media="screen" />

You also need an element on gallery.html - at the end of gallery.html - with a unique id like so:

<a href="../images/01.jpg" rel="lightbox[roadtrip]">Start</a>
<a href="../images/02.jpg" rel="lightbox[roadtrip]">image2</a>
<a href="../images/05.jpg" rel="lightbox[roadtrip]">image3</a>

<span id="unique1"></span>

</body>
</html>

That polling function looks OK for use with lightbox but, it belongs on the 'top' page, I believe that is your index.php page. It could do with a little error checking though:

<script type="text/javascript">
function pollContent(id){
if (document.getElementById&&document.getElementById(id)){
initLightbox();
document.getElementById(id).id="";
}
else if (document.getElementById)
setTimeout("pollContent('"+id+"')", 60)
}
</script>

Also on that page use this:

<li><a href="javascript:ajaxpage('../menufolder/gallery.html', 'contentarea');" onmousedown="pollContent('unique1');">Gallery</a></li>

Hi!

I have a question about ajax script.
On this page: http://kensai.php1h.com/test/ajaxtabscontent/demo.htm i have put a ajax script, and when for example i click on dog in ajax script it is bringing a external2.htm page. And there i have a thumbnail picture of dog and when i click on it, it is needed to open with lightbox 2.0 script, but when i click on this thumbnail it will only open picture on a white background without lightbox script effect.

But when i go here to the external2.html page at: http://kensai.php1h.com/test/ajaxtab.../external2.htm and try to click on a picture it is opened with a lightbox srcipt.

I relly dont know how to solve this problem.
