Question

I am trying to use Colorbox so that it will open upon load and alert visitors that registration has opened for a conference. I found the code I am using at Javascript Coder.

I can’t get the “X” to close Colorbox to display, nor will the surrounding black background appear. However, when you hover over where the X should be, you can tell that there should be something there. I am experiencing this problem in FireFox and IE.

I have a lot going on with this page – Flash, PrettyPhoto, Ajax – so I’m wondering if things are competing and if I should use a simpler method.

Any help you could give would be much appreciated. Here is a link to the test version: http://www.iais2012.org/test.htm

And please be kind – this is my first time building a website, never mind using all of this crazy code 🙂

I would simply use this popular library instead
