Fancybox afterClose event not working

Question

I'm having a problem using the fancybox API after Close.

I open the function when people click on this:

<a class="fancybox fancybox.iframe btn" href="myurl.php"></a>

The javascript behind this is:

$('.fancybox.iframe')
    .fancybox({
    arrows: false,
    padding: 0,
    overlay: {
        locked: false
    },
    beforeClose: function () {
        location.reload();
    }
});

And it never reload the page when I close it. Can somebody help me? Thank you !

Some clarification to avoid further confusion:

Based on your html

<a class="fancybox fancybox.iframe btn" href="myurl.php"></a>

1. Use the afterClose callback (not an event) instead of beforeClose. For further reference check Tips & Tricks => No.11

2. The class fancybox is used to bind the selector to fancybox so your initialization code should look like this

   jQuery(document).ready(function ($) {
       $('.fancybox').fancybox({
           arrows: false,
           padding: 0,
           helpers: {
               overlay: {
                   locked: false
               }
           },
           afterClose: function () {
               location.reload();
           }
       });
   }); // ready
   

3. The (valid) fancybox.iframe class tells fancybox the type of content it should handle, but you don't use it to bind the selector to fancybox.

See JSFIDDLE

NOTE : this is for fancybox v2.x
