Question

I am trying to use lightbox plus plugin for WordPress which works fine for most of my site.

I have a php page which is used by a jQuery AJAX function to retrieve data in order to paginate a large result set back in wordpress. This page is not part of wordpress.

I have managed to get WordPress functions to work fine in this php page by using:

    define('WP_USE_THEMES', false);
require('/home/love/public_html/dev/wp-blog-header.php');
require('/home/love/public_html/dev/wp-load.php');   

However, in this page is an include, and within the included file is a link to an external sheet which is meant to be brought in with a lighbox:

<a class="" rel="lightbox" href="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>/more-product-info?a=<?php echo $post->ID ?>">
  <div id="moreprodinfo">More Info</div>
  </a>

This method of retrieving information in a lighbox works ok on most parts of my site, but its just not working on the part that uses AJAX to retrieve the link to the lighbox page.

I assumed it was something to do with plugins not working when the page is not part of WordPress, but all the WordPress function have been working so why not plugins? Also my cufon plugin doesnt work on this ajax retrieved page either.

Is it becuase I am using .html javascript function to display the content retrieved by AJAX:

if(pageType == 'prizeHome'){
 loading_hide();
 $("#tab-prize-home #container").html(msg);

Any help would be appreciated

It looks like a common issue when using ajax to load html content :

You probably call lightbox and cufon when document is ready, which happens only once before your ajax call. You have to call again lightbox and cufon after your ajax call.
