Show a div with Fancybox
On the click of a button, I'm trying to show a simple hidden div in a fancy box. This is the code that works:
$("#btnForm").fancybox({ content: $("#divForm").html() });
But from what I've read, this doesn't seem to be the standard way to accomplish this. I've tried each of the following, unsuccessfully:
$("#btnForm").fancybox({ href: "#divForm" });
$("#btnForm").click(function () {
$.fancybox({ href: "#divForm" });
});
$("#btnForm").click(function () {
$("#divForm").fancybox();
});
Can someone point me in the right direction on how to properly use this utility? Here's my html:
<input type="button" value="Load Form" id="btnForm" />
<div id="divForm" style="display:none">
<form action="tbd">
File: <input type="file" /><br /><br />
<input type="submit" />
</form>
</div>
Answer
As far as I know, an input element may not have a href attribute, which is where Fancybox gets its information about the content. The following code uses an a element instead of the input element. Also, this is what I would call the "standard way".
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://fancyapps.com/fancybox/source/jquery.fancybox.pack.js?v=2.0.5"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://fancyapps.com/fancybox/source/jquery.fancybox.css?v=2.0.5" media="screen" />
</head>
<body>
<a href="#divForm" id="btnForm">Load Form</a>
<div id="divForm" style="display:none">
<form action="tbd">
File: <input type="file" /><br /><br />
<input type="submit" />
</form>
</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function(){
$("#btnForm").fancybox();
});
</script>
</body>
</html>
