Re: Activate lightbox programatically instead of just from links - taken from user comments on the www.particletree.com site

The canned script will link the initialize() function to the body’s onload handler. This results in 1) the needed DIVs being “pre-inserted” into the page’s DOM, and 2) a new lightbox being instantiated for any tag with a className of “lb0n”.

It’s clean, if somewhat limiting. Like many here I wondered how do I bring up a lightbox programamtically inside my own Javascript code. For example, I use Active Widget’s UI library in one webapp I am building. I wanted to have a lightbox popup when a Button element from that library was clicked. Here’s how I did it:

1) Modify lightbox.js to handle a null parameter in the initialize() function:

A Class object in Prototype has the function initialize() as the constructor. (see prototype.js, line 21) Now, unless I am mistaken, lightbox.js is setup to expect a “handle” to a control, after which is does all the tie-up work between events and handlers. All of this is not necessary when trying to use lightbox dynamically. Simply wrap the code in initialize() such that a handle to a control is not needed if null is passed.

initialize: function( ctrl ) { if ( ctrl != null ) { this.content = ctrl.href; Event.observe(ctrl, ‘click’, this.activate.bindAsEventListener(this), false); ctrl.onclick = function(){return false;}; } },

2) Use key functions to popup the actions that happen in the initialize function and after it is triggered by an onClick. Basically, setup a null lightbox object, set the content string and then call activate. Three lines. The code below sets up the three lines to run when someone clicks on an Active Widget button. You could wrap this instead with your own function called at any point in your code.

myButton.onControlClicked = function(event) { var popup = new lightbox(null); //the ‘null’ value is not needed, but I have it in there as a reminder popup.content = “../lightboxGW/form.html”; popup.activate(); };

Alter the path in the second line to be a path to the form you wish to popup.

And, voila, a dynamic popup that can be triggered when desired.

Enjoy with a glass of fine wine.
