Rails - Apr 2006 - Using RJS to call custom JavaScript class/method

The announcement for RoR 1.1 shows some nice examples of RJS calls. In 
particular I am interested in this one:

# Call the custom JavaScript class/method AddressBook.cancel()
page.address_book.cancel

In trying to develop a "lightbox" style modal form, I have been 
successful in saving the form data via AJAX but I can''t seem to close 
the "lightbox". I am using the Particletree.com "Lightbox Gone
Wild!"
implementation (http://particletree.com/features/lightbox-gone-wild/)

How exactly do I call custom JavaScript?

Using ''page.lightbox.deactivate'' throws the error:
''RJS error:
ReferenceError: Lightbox is not defined''.

Thanks,
-Jer

Hi Jeremy,

Use this:

page << ''your.custom.javascript.here();''

Cheers!

Have a similar problem, but think I may be being thick.

I''ve a lightbox-style login working (in that the form_remote logs me in
OK), but the window doesn''t close and the "You are logged in as
..."
blurb doesn''t update.  Any clues where I should put the

page << ''Lightbox.hideall();''

Or do I need to do something different?

Thanks

Piers
