I am totally baffled. I have reduced this to the simplest possible case and run it through W3c’s validator and I still get this tiny Fancybox window. I’ve used Fancybox many many times. Looks like this:

Code has had all other JS and CSS stripped out in an effort to locate interference.

<div id="fancy" style="display:none;">
<div style="width:500px; height:500px">
<img src="../g/video_Faulkner_Society_300.jpg" width="300" height="243" alt="" />
</div></div>
<a id="infolink" href="#fancy" class="infolink" style="display:none"></a>

</body>
</html>

The original HTML content of the #fancy div was reduced to this one image in an effort to clarify.

Also removed the parameters I was initializing with:

  $(".infolink").fancybox({
    'scrolling'     : 'no',
    'titleShow'     : false,
    'overlayOpacity' : '0.7'
  });

Can anyone tell me my error?

    The display: none should be set on the parent div of the one you want to act as a box. See #4 (inline content) in the documentation.

    So move the id="fancy" to the child div like this:

    <div style="display:none;">
  <div style="width:500px; height:500px" id="fancy">

    HERE is the example.
