Anyone used Lightwindow?
| Posted by netfreak, 12-05-2007, 09:50 PM |
| I'm attempting to use Lightwindow 2 (http://stickmanlabs.com/lightwindow/#howtouse) to display a URL within a javascript popup box. I use Lightbox for displaying images and it works no problem, but with Lightwindow it just opens the URL in the main window. Lightwindow is based on Lightbox so I find it odd that one would simply not work. Anyone have any tips?

| do you mean light box? the thing that hides all the page and just leaves a white space for what it displays?

| Lightbox only does images, so I use that in one area of my page. Lightwindow is a modified version of Lightbox that does URLs, movies, and everything else instead of just images. The configuration for both is the exact same, except Lightwindow just doesn't work whereas Lightbox does.

| I've had similar issues with LightWindow. Do you have a full DOCTYPE declaration on your page? (With a valid DTD URL?) If so, what DOCTYPE are you using? (Using a STRICT mode doctype and the author tag will probably give errors, that really needs to be moved to the params section if he ever releases an update.)
Did you modify the javascript files in any way?
When you run the page through Firebug does it spit out any errors?
Do you have an example page online which replicates the error?

| Here is the doctype:
hichamm2975: I tried doing it matching the code on your page but I'm still seeing it open just in the same window without a popup.
I'll try tinkering around a bit more I guess.

| Tried with and without STRICT. The only modification to the JS/CSS files was including the proper path for the images. No other errors at all, I click the link and the page just opens in the same window just as it would if it were a normal link. All my stuff is internal so maybe I'll try whipping up a quick demo page on an outside server to see if I have the same problem.

| OK I GOT IT WORKING
The original zip file I downloaded from their site must have been missing the "effects.js" file or something... Just grabbed it off hichamm2975's site and the popup is now displayed.
THANKS EVERYONE
