Question

I am using jquery fancybox version 2.0.3. I want to prevent close on click outside of fancybox. I want to force user to click the cross button. I have tried

$(document).ready(function() {
    $(".various").fancybox({
        closeClick  : false,
        openEffect  : 'none',
        closeEffect : 'none',
        hideOnOverlayClick:false,
        hideOnContentClick:false
    }).trigger("click");
});

but this doesn’t seems to work in new version of fancybox. I had referred the link

Answer 1

Use this option:

helpers : { 
  overlay : {closeClick: false}
}

so your final script should look like:

$(document).ready(function() {
 $(".various").fancybox({
  closeClick  : false, // prevents closing when clicking INSIDE fancybox 
  openEffect  : 'none',
  closeEffect : 'none',
  helpers   : { 
   overlay : {closeClick: false} // prevents closing when clicking OUTSIDE fancybox 
  }
 }).trigger("click");
});

hideOnOverlayClick and hideOnContentClick are options for Fancybox v1.3.x
