    Is there any reason you have to use the click() method?

    If not, this simple script works for both the image and the form :

    $(document).ready(function(){
  $(".fancybox").fancybox();
});

    Now, in the specific case of the form, since this is an external html document you have to tell fancybox the type of content that has to be open so, in your html you could do

     <a class="fancybox fancybox.ajax" href="form.html" >open form</a>
 <a class="fancybox" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ZdjEZ8qqBq0/UA2dNK8JYDI/AAAAAAAAAJ8/31bh4BzcA6E/s400/Dog-1.jpg" >open dog image</a>

    NOTICE the additional class fancybox.ajax where we let fancybox know the type of content. Please also notice that you could use ajax if the html document is within the same domain or iframe if it is in another domain (where you should have to have access too) so

     <a class="fancybox fancybox.iframe" href="form.html" >open form</a>

    Last NOTE : ajax won’t work locally, you have to test it in a server.
