I have a simple example i am using FancyBox for the light box. I have a form configure to use FancyBox. One link is a picture that shows up in the light box when i click it, that works perfect for me. I also have a simple .html form however when i click on it, it doesn't show in the lightbox nor is it redirected to the form. Under is my code:
Menu Form.html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>

Is there any reason you have to use the
click()
method?If not, this simple script works for both the
image
and theform
:Now, in the specific case of the
form
, since this is an external html document you have to tell fancybox thetype
of content that has to be open so, in your html you could doNOTICE the additional class
fancybox.ajax
where we let fancybox know thetype
of content. Please also notice that you could useajax
if the html document is within the same domain oriframe
if it is in another domain (where you should have to have access too) soLast NOTE :
ajax
won't work locally, you have to test it in a server.
