Question

I’m trying to open Shadowbox from within a radio button onclick event on a asp.net web form without success. I was initially opening it using a button click which worked fine, but now need to make sure it happens when the radio button option is selected. I then tried to click the button in javascript (button.click()), but that only worked in IE and Newer versions of firefox. So I have opted to use Shadowbox.open, but it is causing some issues. Here is my code:

if (yes.checked == true)
    {            
        var url = 'http://localhost:52963/items.aspx';
        Shadowbox.open( { content:    url, 
                        type:        "iframe", 
                        title:         "sbTitle ", 
                        options:   {   initialHeight:350, 
                                        initialWidth:450, 
                                        loadingImage:"loading.gif", 
                                        handleUnsupported:  'link' 
                                    } 
                     }); 
    }

This just seems to bring up the overlay but doesn’t open the web page inside it. Anyone know where I’m going wrong?

Apparently I needed to add a player as well as a type. So the amended code is this:

Shadowbox.open( { content:    url, 
                    type:        "iframe", 
                    player:      "iframe",
                    title:         "sbTitle ", 
                    options:   {   initialHeight:350, 
                                    initialWidth:450, 
                                    loadingImage:"loading.gif", 
                                    handleUnsupported:  'link' 
                                } 
                 });
