Hi folks, I''ve written a little plugin to use for displaying a block of html over a page while fading out the background. This is like the lightbox.js library, and all it''s related offshoots (thickbox, greybox, etc.). My plugin, Redbox, is not really any better than these others (in fact, it''s less mature, and less tested), but it builds on prototype and scriptaculous,

Hi all - I need to do an overlay with something that supports ajax/remote html. There''s lots of options and quite a few rails plugins. Some seem out of date however. Any suggestions on which one is "best" where "best" is defined as easy to implement, works in all browsers, supports ajax or remote html. Thanks! -philip

Hi, I''m using lightbox.js for displaying chromeless popup windows. I have a main page on which I have javascript_include_tag and stylesheet_link_tag to include lightbox. Calls to the lightbox popups from this main page work perfectly... But....calls to the lightbox popups from pages which are called by ajax(using link_to_remote) from the main page do not work... :( They work like

Hi, I am trying to include lightbox functionality in my app, but there is a slight complication. Apparently lightbox initializes all the links to lightbox events on page load. However, in my case, some new links to lightbox events will be rendered to the page through ajax events (obviously this means after the page loads). So I figure I need to find a way to call lightbox''s

Has anybody else had a problem with using Lightbox in their RoR apps? I include all the necessary files in application.rhtml and then attempt to use the Lightbox functionality in pages and such. Nothing happens except that a new page opens up with the link to the image I was attempting to show with Lightbox. I''ve even gone so far as to strip out everything except the necessary

Hello! I''m trying to create a simple image "popup" effect using Lightbox2, http://www.huddletogether.com/projects/lightbox2/. But I don''t get it to work. My code looks lite this: <span class="ad_image"> <a href="<%= ad.image.url(:thumb) %>" rel="lightbox"><img src="<%= ad.image.url(:thumb) %>"

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

I just installed Lightbox Plus on my Debian Testing (Squeeze/Sid) using Wine 1.1.17, and it works perfectly (so far). I haven't used it that much, but it installed just fine as follows: $ wine install20.exe The registration window pops, I filled in the code, didn't change anything with respect to Desktop icons etc., and Lightbox Plus showed up in my Desktop Gnome Applicatiions

So, one of the things I''ve always wanted to do was expand upon the simplicity of the Lightbox Gone Wild! object that the coders at www.particletree.com put together months ago. I used it on an application I wrote to organize my own picture albums on my localhost web server, but I had to hack it apart to get it to do the things I wanted it to do. I looked at the Prototype Window

I''ve recently made a first release of what I''m calling "bundled_resource" which is a plugin that makes our lives *much* easier when we need to use javascripts, stylesheets and images in conjunction with one another to deliver a special effect or tool on the client (browser) side. If you missed the release, read about it on my blog at

People might be intrested in an article I wrote about using a helper and some javascript to easily bring up ''Overlays'', a bit like Lightbox. http://www.eribium.org/eribium/?p=32 -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I've seen this consistently on three systems, with three different cards, and multiple versions of DAHDI. At first I thought the issue only occurred on newer, Nehalem-based, systems, but I reproduced it on a Core 2 Duo box as well. I've tested with dahdi-linux 2.2.0.2, dadhi- linux-complete 2.0.0+2.0.0, 2.1.0.2+2.1.0.2, and 2.2.0.2+2.2.0. The card is a Digium TE220B which uses the

Hi, I''m trying to open a modal popup window using redbox to display a styled notification/alert to the user. The helpers in the redbox documentation only describe how to open a redbox when the user clicks on a link, e.g., link_to_redbox() or link_to_remote_redbox(). Is there any way to open a redbox, or a different type rails- compatible modal popup, from inside a controller action?

Anyone else tried this? Looks like there are some issues using the redbox plugin with rails 2.1 but maybe I''m just doing something wrong... Thought I would post a question here to see if I''m the only one...
